Realistically, you send one of your drivers/human player to the question box. That's probably fine 99% of the time, since they presumably know the rules and what happened during the match, but it does mean you're down a drive team member for moving the robot. In the past I've had the driver in charge of the controls hang back if I thought there might be a problem, while I the other driver and human player handle the robot.
4 students on the drive team. One goes to the question box, one takes the driver station to the cart and pulls that over, the other two get the robot. I don't see where the problem is...
