Ok...so in the elimination matches you, the original alliances will consist of 24 teams (8 alliances * 3 per alliance). And lets just say for the sake of easiness to understand the teams picked were also ranked 1-24. Ok. Say a team on alliance 1 breaks down, now do they have to choose the next available highest ranked i.e. robot ranked #25? or can they choose any one of the 8 robots that must stay "ready" to play? I just got confused about this.

I believe that you must pick the highest seeded team avalible. There is no choice in robots, except the choice to play a round with only two robots or to pick the highest seeded team not picked for elims.
