That could be a bit of a concern.

I assume that you are talking about the BACKBOT requirement.
Let me say that I have NOT read the rules, but from how my daughter explained it to me, there is not a requirement for a particular robot be the BACKBOT but just that an ALLIANCE has to have a BACKBOT.
So it seems to me that the ALLIANCE would have to make a decision to keep playing defense with 3 robots (1 dead plus two alive) and racking up the penalties as a result or putting a live robot as the BACKBOT and doing their best to defend with only 1 live robot (and one dead one).
