The most robust players are able to adapt to any situation with little to zero preparation beforehand. Robustness isn't something you can obtain just by following combat advice people give you, it's something you'll get by learning how the game works and how players behave over time.
Besides, it's not sec's job to be robust, its their job to give antags a harder time mass-murdering the crew, and increase the challenge to make it more fun.
DrZ that is a spot on diagnosis. Being robust is sometimes jokingly referred to as who can click faster, but it's actually about using anything and everything in your current environment to win. Never rely on one thing to carry you. That being said, there is one thing that can never be relied on too hard and that thing is a fire extinguisher.
