Many, many more teams sounds like a logistical nightmare to me
There's the possibility of adding some robot lanes through the other lower entrance to the dome, but that would mean moving more humans to the upper entrances. For Einstein, depending on layout, it might be best to have a couple of the field screens staying up and on to provide a better view for teams sitting near those fields. (Call it last two to finish have to delay getting their screens down, just to make it easy.)
