A volunteer of some sort saw us, actually stopped us, and told me to walk back to the pit and get at least a total of 3 people. One to push, one to steer, and one to shout robot at the top of their lungs.

Yeah, we got pulled over for not shouting robot. I'm not saying anything about the volunteer, just saying we can't not shout robot

That bugs me! To make it better, a few of us learned that if you yell robot and a safety person is around, you got tokens. (this was a few years ago)
