With the official team update the descoring option is canceled for good.
Just read what the team update says:
Quote:
This rule restricts any arms, mechanisms, hoods, etc from extending beyond the
BUMPER PERIMETER. Among other things, some associated intentions of this rule
are to prevent teams from having manipulators which extend outside the BUMPER
PERIMETER, and to prevent teams from being able to de-score game pieces or
block/disrupt trailers. While the current belief is that rule changes or additions are not
needed to prevent such robot behavior, if teams are pursue this type of strategy by
employing a loophole, or by other means, an amendment to the rules will be made.

And if that's not plain and simple enough:
Quote:
The Game Design Committee would like to elaborate on the restriction concerning
disruption of the ARENA as it applies to the TRAILER. The purpose of the trailer is
to serve as an open collection site for MOON ROCKS, EMPTY CELLS, and SUPER
CELLS. As such, an attempt to cover the open top of any trailer or remove scored
balls would be considered a disruption of ARENA elements and not be allowed per
<G29>.

Disappointing, isn't it ?
