Thanks for this post. I never considered before this that over the noise of the music and power tools, people yelling "robot" would be annoying to people.

I agree that visitors will find this very annoying, but at least at the Seattle Regional, it has proven to be a very effective way of getting people out of the (very cramped) isles.

This year there will be 100 teams at the two seattle regionals (run at the same time and venue), which means literally over a thousand people in the pits.

Keeping others' concerns in mind, however, I will be sure to pass on to my team that we should be mindful of our loudness as we transport our robot. I'm sure that we will stil lfind that we will need to yell "Robot coming through!" a few times, but we will do our best not to be obnoxious about it.
