Knocking down trackball's during end game

I was wondering if my team puts up a trackball during endgame to score 12 points and another team knocks it down to descore, would that count as a hurdle for my team and we get 8 pts?

Which way do they knock it? If you look at Q&A, this is addressed. Specifically, if it goes counterclockwise, you get 8 points. If not, no points.

I wonder if your robot is aloud to grab the rack and shake all the balls off at the end??

Nope.
