This should be the recommended way to move robots around at an event. The "ROBOT" screaming actually causes problems. It tends to give kids the idea that robots have the right of way over people and they expect people to clear a path for them instead of clearing a path themselves, and it adds to the overall noise in the pits, making the environment more hazardous.
