couldn't that be said for any noise making safety device (horns, sirens or what not)? By your logic, anything that makes noise or flashes a light on a regular basis is a safety hazard.
Safety experts are telling us to do it. I'm not sure why this practice is a bad thing. It's might be a tad annoying for some, but I'd rather have a few rolled eyes in my general direction than having to pull someone off the floor because they just ran into my team's robot on the way to queuing.
