so to answer your question, no, it is not going to be penalized unless the trackball is being continually bulldozed therefore being defined as herding.

Grabbing a trackball, raising it up to overpass height, and using it to bump off another trackball could hardly be classified as "inadvertent".

but wouldn't that be considered herding since its trackball to trackball contact?

But you can't herd while you have another ball in your possession.
