[Safety Sophie]

I believe that "ROBOT" should only be yelled if teams are not responding to team members kindly asking them to get out of the way. "ROBOT" has turned into a sort of white noise at this point..
Of course, teams should still notify all people around them that a robot is in transit. I'm just not sure if this is the way to do it. The Safety Manual states:
Transporting:
o Make sure the robot is stable on the cart before transporting.
o Keep the cart under control at all times, especially when removing or placing the
robot.
o Do not include music on your robot cart.
o Use patience and control when moving the robot, especially in crowded areas. Do not run.
o Ensure that the cart will not roll away or pose a hazard, especially upon robot
removal. Use a chock block if necessary.
o Use the gate opening when entering/exiting the playing field. Climbing over the railing is prohibited.

There is nothing in the transportation rules that demand teams to yell "ROBOT" in the pits. There is, however, a rule which states that teams may not play music on their carts. Just something to think about.
