Oddly enough those are also the teams with the most bodies around their pit areas. Oh well!

I think FIRST should have 1-2 volunteers per event whose job it is to walk around the pit and address traffic issues. If it becomes part of our culture to keep aisles clear we won't be having these problems.

Couldn't agree more!

Teams should be limiting the number of people around their own pit.
People looking around, talking to teams and checking out robots I don't see as a big issue, as long as they are mindful of their surroundings. But you really shouldn't have people hanging around the pits who aren't actively working on the robot, talking to judges, or mentors supervising.
