Offensive/Defensive

In FTC, I heard some people ask me if our robot was offensive or defensive, and I thought, shouldn't all robots aim to be offensive (score points)? This was in the regionals so the stakes were up.

What would be Pros of having a defensive robot and how far would you get in building one? Can you get into worlds with a defensive robot? Maybe if people are crunched up in time and resources, a defensive robot is the way to go, but how effective is it too? A lot of questions, sorry, but this is something I may be interested in doing later on.

I hope I'm posting in the right section, offensive/defensive robots never seemed like a strategy until that question came up.
