They're 'analysts.' From section 1.6 of the game manual: "ANALYST – a HUMAN PLAYER that assists the COACHES with strategy. There is one ANALYST per ALLIANCE."

My take on the minibots question is that a robot can just deploy one. It refers to minibots in the game manual as 'the minibot,' as in, "The ROBOT includes both the HOSTBOT and the MINIBOT (ROBOT = HOSTBOT + MINIBOT)." (From the definition of Robot in section 1.6) That's not a definitive answer by any means, just an interpretation of the text.
