Re: A plea for a quieter pit area
As I stated earlier, as to the calling out "ROBOT", I think it is nessecary. It alerts people that you are coming. If you just tap them on the shoulder, they probably won't understand that the robot is coming but will think that you are trying to talk to them. A better way to do it would be to call "ROBOT" and tap only if they don't move. Our team also has flashing LED light sticks and a reflective green vest we use to escort.
If you really want to cut down on the noise, turn the music down or even off! We take decible readings and it is almost always in the danger zone of more than 85 DCB for 8 hours and in the stands, it's usually around 95 which causes hearing damage for more than 3 hours. If the DJs would turn down the music, it would help with making the pits (and stands) quieter. I understand that the music helps make the competition more exciting but it is not worth the excitment if you lose partial hearing.
That's my opinion.
