As a human, there is NEVER any reason for a robot to push pass me, even if it has a human in tow yelling "Robot" (*)

As an adult, there is never a reason for a robot to push past me with a child in tow that is yelling "robot" (cute grand kids included)

As a robotics mentor there is never a reason for a roboteer to push past me a cart of metal parts presuming to be a "robot" yelling "Robot".

Match times are set and clearly posted. Time management is part of the competition challenge. Once you are yelling "Robot" you have lost. Time to send a human player to the field and the rest of you to go back to the pits to figure out what you are doing wrong. No check list, no running time keeper, poor planning the work you can do in a set pit change, set up and management of pit parts, tools, layout; having a "Pit Boss" that is in charge. 100's of things to think about. Think about and fix them. Don't run me over.

Which in any case the final solution does not end up with a human roboteer going "Robot". Fix your root cause, do not push onto me your teams problems.

(*) The only reason a robot should push past me is if it has an injured human, in which case it's yelling "Injured Human, Please let us past" Oh wait that's what the EMS teams do. And I quickly move aside taking other people with me to clear the path.
