I hope there is some serious consideration of how the inflexibility in this rule as currently stated might end up affecting some students.
You get four people on drive team. Hopefully you'd only need two tall folks to lower the robot (Two people detach the robot from the pyramid, one person spots the first two, one person grabs the operator console and pulls the cart around for loading).

Can anyone confirm this?
You can only have one main breaker. R38 requires that the main breaker be connected exactly as shown, which prevents installing a secondary.
