At the 2015 Carson Division, 20 was selected as the third robot for 1325 and 3339- two excellent feeder station stacking robots. As our backup, we were lucky enough to get 1711, who had some of the fastest can grabbers in the division.
20 played in one match, and we decided as an alliance to play 1711 instead, for their faster can grabbers for the rest of eliminations, and onto Einstein. 1711, regardless of the position they were drafted in, was one of the most important robots on that alliance. And 20, despite only playing one match, was involved in every strategy discussion and decision during the whole process as well.

At the 2016 Tech Valley Regional, the alliance of 5254-20-229 was forced to call in a backup robot due to 229's drivetrain failure. We were lucky enough to get our friends on 1665 as our backup, and their aggressive, yet smart defense against 2791 got our Alliance to the finals. 1665 was rewarded for their hard work by receiving a wild card from that (359 and 20 were already qualified, 3990 and 229 received EI and Chairman's respectively).
There were other robots at that event that had competitive machines that would have done well at championships, but without our fourth robot, 1665, we wouldn't have made it to finals and qualified for championships ourselves on 5254.

5254 was the 4th robot on our IRI and Hopper alliances. In Hopper, we played one match, then sat out the rest of eliminations because we needed 193's defense and climb. At IRI, we sat out the first match, then played the next five because our Alliance needed the additional scoring power.

In all of these situations, every robot on these alliances deserved their banner, their win, or their recognition, and I would assume many other stories are the same.
