And I agree with Nemo, if you're going to use this at an event, take off the unnecessary misspellings and "111one".
In my mind it's not okay to yell "robot", but it's perfectly fine to yell "excuse us". Here's why. For some reason, people have started yelling robot for robots that don't belong to them. Not only does this create a lot of noise pollution, but it also causes a lot of confusion about the actual location of the robot. Some people will yell robot for a robot that they can't even see, provided they heard someone else yell it. At the San Diego regional, about 80% of the time I heard someone yell robot, I paused, looked around, and couldn't find any robots in transit nearby. We've stuck to yelling excuse us, and we manage to get peoples attention without spreading excessive noise through the pits. Never have had an issue with hitting anyone with our cart. YMMV.

If people only yelled robot for their own robot, I'd be okay with it.
