Likewise, this means that the field reset crew has to have several balls, as the distance between the goals and the balls is all across the field (I couldn't imagine them running back & forth in front of the crowd to deliver the balls to the other side.

Thoughts?
I think staying up late has gotten to your head. The human player in the alliance station puts the ball into play at his end of the field. The other stations are for the two other human players.
