We covered this in another thread. Drones or Spirits once present
count as Runners per being affected by challenges and taking damage.
However, I don't believe they count towards your six runner limit for
a Shadowrun. Afterall, the Drones don't have to be activated/present
as you're going into the run. They may not even be activated 'til the
final challenege, if at all.

I have a question in to FASA just to confirm this though.
