FTC-Events shows old "Robot Name" identifier #819

Issues affecting ftc-events.firstinspires.org, including ftc-api.firstinspires.org
Describe the bug
FTC-Events shows "Robot Name" from a previous season in current season team information, despite the field which populates that "Robot Name" data no longer being accessible to teams. This data is outdated by several seasons, but because the "Year" value displays the current season year, someone who doesn't know this information is deprecated might think it's current.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
Remove this deprecated and outdated information from view on the frontend. The data isn't doing any harm in the db on the backend, but it just shouldn't be displayed on the frontend since it's outdated.
Screenshots

Additional context
The old "Robot Name" field, which used to be fillable by teams back when TIMS was still a thing, is no longer accessible to teams and hasn't been since TARDIS was implemented. However, it seems that since the 2020-2021 season, the last Robot Name that was entered into TIMS prior to the TARDIS implementation has been shown on FTC-Events for each subsequent season, despite the teams no longer being able to change it or remove it from their profile.
I had a conversation with Danny Diaz about this back in November, and he told me that the issue is that FTC-Events is just displaying old information from a deprecated field in the database on the backend, and it just hasn't been a priority to remove it from view in the frontend on FTC-Events. Totally understandable - just want to submit this on GitHub for the sake of following the "established procedure".
