Basically it's extra people standing outside of the pit. We call out "Excuse me." If that doesn't work we tap them on the shoulder because usually these are the people who have their back to us. By the time we yell, "ROBOT!!" or something of the like, it's...not really a "last resort", but more like, hey, um, we've asked nicely twice, please, there's a 135 lb. robot coming through with a large driver station and cart and there's no more room in the aisle.
