Tapping everyone's shoulder and saying "excuse me" just wasn't gonna cut it.

GP goes both ways. Yelling "ROBOT" is annoying, rude, and unnecessary. But so is having too many people in your pit, and not allowing the team to get by.
This is the crux of the debate. Keep the pit area clear for transition.
