I agree with your conclusion and with the detailed recommendation in the post you linked.
It would be good to have best practices for moving robots to and from teams' pits covered in a section of the Manual, probably the administrative "At The Events" section. Do you know who to approach at HQ about making that change?
On a related note: a lot of people in the FRC community do not share our views on this. At several events this year I have observed well-intentioned volunteers instructing team members that they SHOULD be yelling "ROBOT!" while moving to and from their team's pit.
Back to the main topic -- the way Cathy was treated is certainly appalling. I feed pretty certain that it will be noted by at least one member of the FIRST board, and I hope that appropriate steps will be taken.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
