I honestly doubt that the GDC would ever rule that a no-show robot means a no-show trailer.

Otherwise you can have an entire alliance agree not to put their robots on the field, and guarantee a worst case score of a tie, best case scenario a win (one of their human players score into the opponent's trailer).

And if this was legal, why even build a robot?
