As far as I understand, the wrong truss was sent to the event (that holds the cables above the walkway. It wasn't wide enough to have both people and robots going through comfortably, and the queuing staff had a tough time getting robots in through the narrow passageway with people also trying to get through. Had the wider truss been sent (the one that is normally used), the room left for robots after it was split between people and robots would have been adequate.

Hope this provides some insight.
