Ironically enough, the kids shouting were creating unsafe situations in which teams could not communicate properly. In our pit area, they became a distraction. I'm not sure why, but they made a stop in front of our pit area (On the corner, directly in front of Pit Admin) to "remind" us to be safe. This caused a small traffic jam of robots which, in my personal opinion, is way worse than a convoy of 'bots trying to move through the usual pit traffic.
