4) Is the traffic annoying as a driver, b ecause I saw a lot of traffic jams?

2) Red 1,2,3 dictates the players station number you're assigned to during the match, but robot starting positions are negotiated before the match within the alliance

4)Traffic, especially without the aid of a traction control system can get very annoying. I found that in many situations the worst traffic jams occour immediately at the start of teleoperated mode, because many teams have camera tracking autonomous programs that tend to cause a pileup of robots in one section of the field. Sharp turns, as imagined, were hard to control and there were a few situations that I found myself "pinned", more or less attached to another robot during front end collisions, because intake gaps hooked onto each other. Try to collide with other robots only on fully bumpered regions of your bot and you should be fine.
