Well lets face it. By it's very nature, fighting robots is a very masculine spobby (sport / hobby). Spending hours tinkering in sheds and garages to then smash your creation off another one doesn't appeal to women in the same way as it does to men. My girlfriend Sarah thinks that what I do is impressive but she finds it dull at the same time.

Don't get me wrong, I know there are ladies out there and all are more than welcome but if you don't have as large a community of women to begin with then you are less likely to get an all women team.
