I completely agree with this, shouting "ROBOT" is completely obnoxious. However, saying "robot" at a normal volume for those about 5 feet in front of the robot, isn't. It's simply a way of saying, "heads up a robots coming through" in an easier way. It has become a common phrase in FIRST that is perfectly acceptable if used at a normal volume. Therefore, I woulds say that the word "robot" is not obnoxious unless it is screamed at an unusually loud volume.
