A plea for a quieter pit area

[ttldomination]

I can't say that I agree with everything said here.

BUT, it does agitate me when teams are going for that elusive safety award and they assign their loudest people to escort teams from their pits to the fields (Perhaps in a last ditch, yet successful effort to get these people out of their pits). These people have the shiniest vests, the brightest batons, and the most piercing voices. I remember at Worlds, I could hear some of these people from clear across the pit area.

The above has to stop. From a competitor's standpoint, when it's Saturday morning and you're tired and perhaps you've had a rough event, it tends to get really freaking annoying.

But I suppose hearing "Robot" is somewhat of a FIRST tradition, but in some ways, it's gotten to be too much.
