I can't see that happening, because there are numerous regionals that can barely get 24 teams, letalone 32.

There a number of interesting ideas flowing here, but I would like to provide an additional caution similar to the above. More robot per match generally requires more floor space... Some venues are close to maxed out with the current field. It may not seem like a lot, but 2 or 3 feet in some cases makes a lot of difference.

That being said, how about a format similar to this year's periods with the difference that in each period something on thie field (goals, end zones, etc) or even robots themselves change alliance randomly.
