I think the main point is,

Whatever it is you say: "Excuse me, robot coming through!", "We're late for our match, pardon us!"... and yes, even "Robot!"....

...don't be a jerk about it.

That means, use your inside voice (even if it's toward the loud end of your inside voice), be kind, and THANK the person after they move to help you.

I'm definitely in agreement with the one-person-in-front method: When I coach, I serve as that person, along with whichever student is holding the controls. My drivers can get the cart into the queue line just fine on their own, and I'd rather take the time to be polite to those in front of us.

You never know who that person you just yelled at is. They could have been your future sponsor, but you just screamed at them for standing sort-of-near-you and now they think you're maaaaaybe not the best choice.

It's about attitude, not the sentence length. This is definitely not a practice anyone should be promoting, because it just leads to more noise and more confusion for most people.

EDIT:: Oh yeah, and I signed/shared the petition link, too.
