It obviously depends on the accuracy and the shooting rate, but I'd take the second robot in this case.
especially with a fast ground pickup. Shoot two hoppers of balls, pickup your misses for cycle 3.

I think really effective shooters will either have figured out the distance, speed, accuracy problem, or will shoot layups massively quickly with open top hoppers to recycle the misses. If it takes you 5 seconds to empty your hotter, your first misses are already back in it by the end.
