Re: A plea for a quieter pit area

It also didn't help that some teams brought some trumpets or something. Luckily around our pit there wasn't to much yelling late into the competition because we were all of aware of the robots and no one had to yell. But like Duke said, there was too many people in the pits. At times we did empty our pit of un-needed team members (we only have 4 so it's hard lol). I would recommend some teams look at doing that. Not only does it speed up what you need to do, it also creates a safer environment for everyone trying to do everything.
Thank you,
It's very hard for us to control, we have 48 students, about 40 of them were there, but thankfully about half knew to stay out
