In the same vein, you should expect a high percentage robots that score in the 2-point and 3-point hoops. Most teams can do it and teams would be hesitant to score in the 1-point hoop because it would hurt their overall score and ranking and reputation. So if no one uses the 1-point hoop, it becomes irrelevant to gameplay. Removing the 1-point hoop probably has even less of an impact on rankings.

Do we remove the 1-point hoop?

Not disrespecting the decision that was made, but arguing that I believe it is the wrong one.
