For example I was thinking of the possibility of having a replica robot being built simultaneously along with their actual robot. Of course, building one robot is enough of a challenge.

Typically we build 3 robots. One prototype and two identical twins for competition. After build season is over and one of the twins is bagged, we drive the other till it falls apart and use that information to plan upgrades and fixes for its bagged sibling. The prototype is dismantled when we build three. The past two seasons however have been tight on time and materials so we just convert our prototype into practice.
