Unless you made a gap in your robot, allowing yourself to "wedge" into the corner of the fender and be able to make it to the rim soundly. However, I'm guessing a Team Update will say you cannot touch the rim.

...and keep in mind that one-point scores might actually hurt you... If your opponent can consistently take and score a 2- or 3-point shot from a returned ball, you'd be better off holding onto the ball than scoring a one-point shot (except perhaps at the very end... but at that point you should be balancing!)

Don't ignore the possibility of dumping into the middle goals.....

You can be 84 inches in the offensive side of the field.

Oh, I haven't. I presume many teams that are not shooting will be doing exactly this -- and getting pushed around a bit in the process!
