2) Do you think in the future that they will allow two 12V batteries or larger 12V batteries (automotive instead of motorcycle) to allow for more powered motors?

Not likely on both cases. 1 12V 18AH battery has been plenty for all FRC applications when designed properly. You don't need more than one.
