Re: Not to Be a Total Stick in the Mud
In my now 9 years of being on a drive team and moving robots to the field, the most effective way to clear a path is the following:
Send one drive team member ahead of the robot, not pulling it, an independent person. This person walks ahead of the robot, and politely asks anyone who may be in the way to please move out of the way momentarily for the robot to pass by. If they are facing away from the robot, a gentle tap on the shoulder followed by the same explanation does wonders.
Our team hasn't yelled robot in the 7 years I have been on it, and we don't need to. We move through the pits just fine without creating extra noise pollution. Teams should try it, you will be surprised how much easier it is to move to and from your pit.
