I should let Iain break the news, BUT it looks like the place where Iain
works use stanchions every day.

And according to Iain, it looks like he will be able to bring them in.

Yup, they've even got the "ventax robot inc." logo on them. :)

maybe just duct tape lines on the floor and a sign saying "Please stay
behind the line"?

I can tell you from experience that this just does not work. Humans as a
group need to be herded with physical barriers.  PERIOD!!  I've worked
many jobs where I had to deal with the public and the 2 things I have
learned about humanity:

1.  IF you put more then 2 people in a room that they do not own and
give them food and go away, when you come back you will find food
wrappers and remains everywhere but in the garbage.  without
exception!!!

2.  IF left to their own devices, humans will inch as close to what ever
it is they want to see or touch as they can.  Saying no only stops them
while you are looking directly at them.

these rules cross ALL  cultural and religious boundaries.

This couldn't have been said better. Even with the plastic chain/posts, I
don't know if that's going to retain people. They could just easily try and
lean on it.

I am not afraid to yell at complete strangers, so I volunteer to be the
offical "Smack-Down Layer" of the event. If anyone even *TOUCHES* my chains,
I will beat them senseless.
