2 years ago, anything that prevented an opposing robot from moving away was considered pinning/trapping. Using the same definition, the situation described would be considered a pin.

What about it were you unhappy with?

For reasons explained in the video. For one, you have a severe loss of control and precision going over the defenses when the drivetrain is doing nosedives across the defenses. It also wasn't that great at going over slowly. In short we weren't satisfied with going over defenses if we couldn't do it in a fast AND controlled manner so we opted not to go with a modified kitbot. Even if it meant sacrificing build time that could have went towards something else like the shooter. It seemed/still seems worth it since the drivetrain is literally half the game this year.

Answered, and as most of us expected, will be pinning.
