As was described here, the shot would not count for mission points.

If the loop is attached to the robot, then it is part of the robot (Rule
12).  The Sports mission requires that all equipment involved with the shot
is completely inside the shot lines.  The robot is involved with the shot,
so the entire robot must be east/north of the shot lines.  That includes
anything attachments joined to it, even if that attachment is not otherwise
being used in the shot.
