I agree that a "minibot specialist" is unlikely, simply because if your minibot is *that* much better than your tube scorers', you're going to be off the board early.

However, I do believe that all three bots are likely to at least have a minibot, lest someone breaks down, gets blocked, or fails to deploy.

In one Florida practice match, our alliance had 3 minibots. One robot went to the left tower and deployed without problems. The second robot went to the right tower, but their bot failed to start climbing. We went over to the right tower and deployed our minibot above the one sitting on the base and climbed successfully.
