Then in the final seconds, you could flip the arm up and launch any rocks out of the trailer. It would not be attaching to the trailer, if it does not touch the sprockets of the trailer.
From what I understand from one of the game rules, you cannot LIFT the trailer...also, its attached with a steel bar, so lifting is kinda already out of the question.
