Re: What happens if a robot isn't on the field for a match?

The Payload Specialists could still shoot moonrocks and score.

Players may still come to the field without a robot, and the Payload Specialist could shoot.

Depends. If you sent players out, then you would get a score, and if your alliance's score is 2x or 3x the other alliance, you would lose a Cell in your next game. If your team is a complete no-show, then you earn zero points for that game, so you won't lose a Cell in your next match.

The trailer is not powered. They have either red or blue bumper coverings.

Threads will be merged.
