Re: Petition to end the shouting of ROBOT
It seems to me that different people use "ROBOT!" in different ways.
I always heard that the reason for it was as a general warning for people in the area; "watch out, there's 200+lbs of robot and cart moving near you, and you should be aware of it". So nobody takes a blind step backwards into the aisle, or makes any quick movements that could get them hurt.
Sort of the same way forklifts and trucks beep when backing up.
It's definable not a substitute for "Excuse me, we need to get through here".
And yeah, you don't need to shout it at the top of your lungs, just loud enough that people in the aisle near you can hear it.
