So, maybe each time an alliance loses a match, there is a requirement that the next match include playing the back-up robot, and if your alliance makes it to the finals and still has not played the back-up (meaning they haven't lost), then that becomes a requirement.

Of course by doing this, you now have to consider what to do when a robot breaks and such. There would seem no point in a 4th robot, if you can't save your alliance, should something go wrong.

Basically, we need redefined rules about the use of back-ups.
