Can teams damage their own defenses?

Pretty certain that it would do it based on referee input. Similar to any other LED display in the past.

Not every other display. There are some things that are tallied automatically, the Frisbees, the basketballs and this year the boulders.

But the defenses? They have to be ref entered because of the rules stating it must start completely in the neutral zone and must end completely in the courtyard.
