so does that mean 3 robots go on to the next competetion??

7 is the theoretical minimum--at the Championships, with 80+ teams/division.

If you are in the top 8, any team below you that hasn't been picked is fair game.

6 teams from each event go to Championships.

Section 9 of the Manual can answer all the questions you have about the tournament structure exactly.
