This is an excellent point. The ranking point for capturing the tower has two parts... minimum of 8 boulders in the tower (more if there are tech foul penalties) AND ALL THREE alliance robots must challenge or scale the tower. Therefore a single robot can never capture the tower for the ranking points.
IMO, this will prove to be fairly difficult in qualifying rounds at regionals and districts but probably absolutely necessary to win District Champs and many Regionals.
During Champ eliminations it will be the norm in my opinion.
The Ranking Point for breaching requires breaching 4 of the 5 defenses (two trips each through the defense into the courtyard) This could be done by a single alliance member. (Cooperative methods would make this much easier)
