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.

Considering that the robot would most likely be powering the lights in the first place (allowing for changed colors if needed) the trailer would be useless without a robot to power it.

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

Threads will be merged.
