Re: Not to Be a Total Stick in the Mud

Maybe it's just me, but I've seen quite a few people outright ignore those who shout "robot", simply out of spite for the fact that it's shouted too loudly, and too frequently. I have also noticed that politely saying, "Robot coming through, excuse us", goes a very long way.

People in the pits hear loud noises all day. They're bombarded by power tool noises, queue people ordering them to the field, music from the field, cheering from the stands, etc. The last thing they want to hear is the word "Robot" projected as loud as possible, 3 feet from their face.

Try being polite when moving your robot. You might just surprise people into listening to you.
