6. The bystanders are the ones who need it the most because they don't know that robots come through.
How on earth, is a parent who's never been to a competition or a small child running around(who shouldn't be in the first place) supposed to know what to do when they hear someone yell "ROBOT"?

If you aren't in a hurry, tap people on their shoulders and politely ask them to move. If you are in a hurry, how about yelling "Robot coming through, excuse us!" or "Watch out, robot coming through!"


I highly doubt you go running through the shop yelling "ROBOT" so why should you do it at a competition?
