I should point out that this one doesn't work very often. Queuing tends to catch on pretty quickly.

That being said, I do recall hearing an announcement for a particular 330 programmer to go to somewhere near the field or pit back in my student days... Don't recall what about. Might have been shortly before the match where the drive team didn't quite catch that they were almost out of time in a timeout and came "speedwalking" with the robot on the cart to put it onto the field... right after the MC got the teams introduced. (Back in '04, for match 2 of a regional finals).
