Our team designed a purely defensive/emptycell robot. We laughed when Xbot's team coach showed their team's scouting data which said that our robot scored 1 moon rock in our 3rd match.

My guess is that most alliance captains thought that an offensive bot could easily switch into pure defense/emptycell if needed, while a pure defense/emptycell bot could not score if needed.
