I'm with Eric O on this one. G32, E doesn't mention trailers, so contacting trailers outside the bumper zone should be legal, and you can extend outside your bumper zone as long as you stay in a 28x38x60 box. I think a descoring robot is legal, if difficult to pull off.

As to points still counting in a tipped trailer... Since any particular robot is carrying around points for the opposing team for the entire match, the reasoning here should be obvious. Without the rule preserving points in a tipped goal, you'd obviously end up with 6 robots "spontaneously" falling over at the end of every Finals match.... So I don't think it's a rule against clever descoring, I think it's a rule against massive and silly descoring.
