If you push them into your ball to cause possession, you get a foul. A G14 causing a G12. Both are 50 pt technical fouls. This defensive move may require two robots to pry the defender away from their ball. Like a trap in Basketball. I hope they let this play out.
Were the refs not calling this trapping?

“trapping” (overt isolation or holding one or more BALLS against a FIELD element or ROBOT in an attempt to shield them).
