1) can any given team have 2 human players if the alliance agrees on that?
2) Do you pick robot starting positions or is your number (e.g. red 3) decide the starting location
3) Were the tongs useful, and if so was it often?
4) Is the traffic annoying as a driver, b ecause I saw a lot of traffic jams?

Thank You

p.s. again, sorry if 1 and 2 are in the manual.
1 is in the manual--you only get 4 players on the drive team, namely, 1 commander (can't touch the controls), 2 pilots (drivers), and 1 Payload Specialist (Definition of TEAM, 7.2).

2 isn't. I believe that, like the PS position, your alliance chooses this. I can be overturned.

3: Tongs are required by <G40-C>. No ifs, ands, or buts allowed. Also See <G40-D> and <G20-B>.
