Re: A plea for a quieter pit area
In Waterloo, I think I heard about 4 loud -but appropriately placed- "ROBOT!"s. For the most part, travel through the pits was unhindered, allowing robots to move effectively through the pits. A few times I had to ask a large group of parents to move out of the way of the isle as there was no room for robots OR people traffic to move through, so they moved right out of the way. I really do believe it is unnecessary to yell robot. Asking nicely or tapping them on the shoulder and saying excuse me 6 ft [2m] ahead of the robot is enough to clear a good path to walk through. Also, if a team's safety captain made sure that more than 3 people didn't pack themselves in front of their pit, the isles would be much nicer to walk through.
