^This. You shouldn't immediately black-mark a team unless you know for a fact that they told you they'd do co-op and then never do during the match, then they laugh it off when you ask why they did it. Although I find it hard to believe there's many teams that would practice that kind of unprofessional-ism. They should at least be able to give you a reason prior to the match why they won't do co-op.

I'd rather pick a team that is beneficial to my alliance in the eliminations where co-op means nothing.

How do you know they actively avoided putting the totes on yours? Did you ask? Did there robot have communication or power issues that caused it to stop?
