The only relevent rule I could find is: G32 Robot-to-Robot Interaction
It says that "contact outside of the BUMPER ZONE is not acceptable" which could rule out trying to stick an arm into somebody else's trailer (but not necessarilty your own trailer)
It's not really spelled out for us yet, but I don't think they want us digging around in each others trailers, trying to eject balls.
Perhaps the size envelope limitations are enough to ensure that we don't attempt that strategy. ... but I felt really good there for a while this morning thinking that my camera could detect a SUPER CELL in my trailer and toss it OUT as the timer reaches zero.

I found where it says that:
Quote:
D. Contact with a tilted or tipped ROBOT outside the BUMPER ZONE (particularly by the
BUMPERS of the contacting ROBOT) will generally be considered incidental contact and
will not be penalized.
E. Contact outside of the BUMPER ZONE is not acceptable, and will result in a PENALTY.
The offending ROBOT may be disqualified from the MATCH if the offense is particularly
egregious or if it results in substantial damage to another ROBOT.
F. A ROBOT may not attach to and/or climb onto a ROBOT or TRAILER. Doing so will be
interpreted as an attempt to damage an opposing ROBOT, and will be penalized as
such.

Reaching into another trailer violates the out of bumper rule and might be considered attaching or climbing onto a trailer
