Quoted for truth. You're announcing your presence for other people's safety, not as a demand that people make a path.

On the other hand, teams quite often cause problems by standing outside their pits in the aisle talking, strategizing, or working on their robots. Especially working on robots. Pit space is limited, yes, but aisle space is even more limited and a lot more people are using it.
