Yes and no. While you can shoot, the balls that go in won't count.

You can't stop the other teams from shooting, but you can block the shots (unless your robot expands to more than 5 ft tall.) It would not be considered pinning.

Human players are used to load robots or score in the lower goals.

Yes. Humans can take any ball on their side of the player station (already scored) and throw it onto the field or into a goal.
(Note: all the answers are in Section 4. Try having your whole team read that section in the next day or two and the rest of the manual in following days.)
