Re: Petition to end the shouting of ROBOT
I have to respectfully disagree (to a point). Minnesota 10K Lakes has 63 teams. "ROBOT" is the only thing that gets people to move, and if you do anything else, other teams accuse you of trying to take their leg off, even with other people walking ahead and saying "excuse me".
Sorry, but in the 10K pits, you have to yell for the person next to you to hear what you're saying. We have no choice but to yell "ROBOT". Smaller events are easier - Northern Lights, with about 40 teams, had no one yelling "ROBOT" because it wasn't necessary.
Would I prefer if we didn't have to do it in order to not be yelled at by others while coming through? Heck yeah. But there's too many people in the pit - and yelling is the only thing that gets anyone's attention without taking ten minutes to get through ten feet. It's that packed in there. I'm so glad I'm not on drive team this year.
I want to end the shouting too - once out of the pits and in the hall, the yelling stops. Perhaps when we're in the pits, we don't listen and somehow think standing in the walkway until we're screamed at is a good idea.
For certain regionals, the shouting can't end until certain other things change, too.
Yelling robot is rude. But teams at 10K seem to think not yelling it is even more rude.
