By disabled I'm assuming that you mean broken, and the alliance needs the backup bot.
The backup bot for each division winning alliance is the alliance captain of the respective division finalist.
I believe the finalist captain can decline to be the backup and in that case the first selected team by the finalist captain is the backup.

If a robot is disabled during the match, by the referees, well, that's how the game works.

so did we get another clue about a three colored light or was that just some toy that somebody at first threw together. What do you guys think?

They actually had that last year, and said that you could expect it in next year's game (what would become Rack n' Roll), but nothing is ever set in stone. I believe the GDC uses Atlanta as their first major meeting for 2008 and they start throwing around ideas for next year. Well I guess we can expect to see the Light back next year, but in 3 colors? Sounds like a challenge.

I doubt we would see 3 colors when 1 color doesn't even work right half of the time. I kinda want to blame the stage style lighting that FIRST uses and how it varies from field to field because no setup is exactly the same. But that's another discussion.
