In contrast, one of the biggest problems I saw at the NC Regional was the lack of people guiding their robots or even saying something polite about "robot coming through." I was nearly clipped several times each day by teams that had no one out front and no one saying anything. I even saw several teams almost bulldoze their own members as they entered/exited their pit without saying anything.
Between the two extremes of yelling for no reason and not saying anything, I have to say I prefer yelling. Annoying, somewhat. But not nearly as annoying as almost being run over time after time after time.
