Knocking down trackball's during end game

[BenB]

I was wondering if my team puts up a trackball during endgame to score 12 points and another team knocks it down to descore, would that count as a hurdle for my team and we get 8 pts?

Which way do they knock it? If you look at Q&A, this is addressed. Specifically, if it goes counterclockwise, you get 8 points. If not, no points.

I wonder if your robot is aloud to grab the rack and shake all the balls off at the end??

Nope.

<G34> Arena Interaction - ROBOTS may push or react against any elements of the arena, provided there is no damage or disruption of the arena elements. ROBOTS may not grab, grasp, grapple, or attach to any arena structure. If a ROBOT violates this rule, the TEAM will be given one warning. If the referee determines that the TEAM is disregarding the warning, their ROBOT will be disabled for the remainder of the MATCH. ROBOTS that become entangled in the arena elements will not be freed until after the MATCH has finished, unless the entanglement represents a safety hazard.
