the decisions behind who gets to stand where. i.e. are the location selections of the HP's independent of the locations of their robots.

At the beginning of the game, a robot from the opposing alliance is in front of each PS location.

As for the distribution of moon rocks, the rule is quite clear, emphasis mine:

<G11> MOON ROCK Starting Positions – Each TEAM is provided with twenty (20) MOON ROCKS prior to the MATCH. The TEAM may place up to seven (7) of the MOON ROCKS in or on the TEAM ROBOT prior to the MATCH. These MOON ROCKS must be completely supported by the ROBOT – they can not be placed on the CRATER floor. The remaining MOON ROCKS are retained by the PAYLOAD SPECIALIST for that TEAM, to be used during the MATCH (containers will be provided at each PAYLOAD SPECIALIST location to temporarily store GAME PIECES).
