At first most of them thought that since Daisuke described their enemies to be robots, it would be an easy exploration wherein they could get advanced technology devices that could aid them in their Pathways' progress.

Unless they found out their weakness – which they failed to do so – they couldn't do anything against them and just waste their Source Energy that was being restricted by the place.
