Interesting. We've been at competitions this year and last year where teams were asked to not shout robot. Personally I think screaming robot is very rude in addition to being an ineffective method of clearing an aisle.
For the most part there are three types people in an FRC aisle: you, FRCers in a rush to go from point A to point B, and visitors who have no idea whats going on. The FRCers hear you scream robot, know that its there, are partially annoyed you are screaming, and will most likely continue moving on the same path because we all have somewhere to be. Visitors hear that, are startled, and have no clue whats going on because they are already overwhelmed.
Be polite and send one person in front of the cart and ask everyone to politely move in a calm manner even if you are late for the match. Its not hard to do and reflects volumes on the character of your team.
