I have a question in to FASA for an official ruling on this. My
personal ruling is yes. Roadrash is the actual "Runner" holding
position in your allotted six, the drones are just his gear. The
rulebook says that once activated, treat a drone as a runner but I
feel that is just for purposes of deciding affects of Challenges and
dealing out damage. I believe the six runner limit per Shadowrun
applies only to cards with the word Runner written on them.

Yes. Once turned and activated, drones are present until the end of
the turn.

This is one I'm going to submit to FASA. The rulebook says a Rigger
may use a number of drones up to his piloting skill at any one time.
I'd say this means that if a drone is trashed or fragged, he may now
activate another to fill that spot.

Yes, the rules say to treat them as runners.
