Is it legal to descore the low goals in the corners?

There are no rules in the VEX Gateway Game Manual preventing this sort of action, thus it is legal. The one rule dealing with descoring, <SG9>, only applies to clause 1 of the definition of Scored, which only involves the Circular Goals. I’ve quoted this rule below.

<SG9> Robots are not permitted to alter the score of any Scoring Object that is Scored by clause 1 of the definition of Scored. Once an object is successfully scored under clause 1, a Scoring Object’s value cannot be altered (i.e. the object cannot be descored, and moving this object cannot affect which alliance receives a bonus point) even if it no longer meets the clause 1 requirements. Violations of this rule will result in a Disqualification. (Note: Altering a Scoring Object’s value does not include the use of a Doubler or Negation Barrel).
