Team 45 and a few other teams at the rear of the Pit area at the Midwest Regional asked the Pit announcer to yell slightly quieter into the mic so that you could actually hear people that were 2 feet away from you. (I personally had to stop talking every time the announcer spoke as I was talking to judges or pit scouters) He accepted and was quieter for about 2 hrs, but rose his volume again as the DJ turned the music up insanely loud. Midwest had the volume very good during Thurs/Beginning of Friday, so that You couldn't hear the pit announcer while watching the field, and you couldn't hear the field music while in the pits. Late Friday early Saturday it got much worse. Another thing I noted is that during elims crates started moving in and teams started packing up. This would be fine if there weren't a dozen or so people in the walkways making transporting robots almost impossible.
