It really depends on the event organizers and how they want to run it. If an event decides to allow additional robots either to fill the event to 24 or make the playing field larger it is their decision. If a team brings more than one robot it is their decision to play there and if a team doesn't bring another robot it is their decision to play there.

Depending on the access to off-season events for teams it should be considered when making the decision. So if its the one event of the year that teams can get to I would favor no additional bots until all single teams have been selected. The nice option is to just cap the event at 24 or say third bots can't play in elims if you want to keep filling it if third bots are needed to get to 24 then its the first ones needed to fill 24.

It also does come down to the teams who are competing with a second robot if they want to select their own robot but we are all adults so that is their decision to make.
