Wouldn't it be more helpful to keep the pit area less cluttered with unnecessary team members standing around? I'm also not sure how crying "ROBOT" will help in such a crowded situation. How are people going to know which way to move unless someone is walking in front of the robot to help clear a path, and why wouldn't that path-clearing be just as effective with targeted requests to make room instead of a general broadcast that a robot is somewhere nearby?
