I do remember that we politely said "Excuse us" moving to and from the field a few times, but there was never an issue of gridlock.
I would say your mileage will vary depending on the regional you are attending. At the VA regional, they put the scrolling stats and scores on flat screens right next to the entrance to the queuing line. Folks get so worried about looking at their rankings they forget to look behind them and walk into robots/carts/ other people. Sometimes a loud "ROBOT!" will pull them back to the here and now. Gridlock IS an issue there.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
