I don't believe more than 3 could stay on as the bridge changes from tipped to balanced due to the angular momentum.

Thus, theoretical maximums are not valid compared to the real world physics of making it happen.

In fact, I believe we will see a number of rolled robots as in the elims as they try for 3 robot balances. Build your robot robustly
