Best advice in this thread yet. I'm grinning from ear to ear.

PS: I was just at the DC regional and didn't hear a single "ROBOT!" yell.

I wasn't in the pits much, but when I was, I only heard an occasional spoken warning, and they were at the volume they should have been - as loud as common sense would dictate, but no louder than that.

There were also a few "Robot coming through"s and "Excuse me"s heard. All were appropriate and useful.
