The amount of people running through the pits or robot carts being pushed at top speed is staggering. This is probably way more unsafe than anything teams are doing working on their robots.
I agree with what you are saying. That said, I really think that could be handled by Crowd Control. If you are going to have 100 teams per field, then you need to beef up the crowd control aspect of things in the pits. Crowd Control could work with the Safety Advisors as a team.

Walking through some of the aisles in Curie was a squeeze and that was before it was packed with the teams.
