As the Q and A says if they cause it to be pinned to your appendage you get a 50pt penalty.

I was worried about that earlier in the season. I asked the Q&A about it, and they seem to have said that it would not be considered pinning if a robot was pinning its own ball against an opponent. I think Q170 was referring to more intentional, "actively push the ball into the guardrail"-type blocking.

Q&A 187
Q. Re Q170: A red robot is stationary in front of the low goal. An blue robot continually pushes the blue ball against the red robot, attempting to score in the low goal. Is this a violation of G12, G29 (transitory through the ball after 5 seconds), or another rule?
A. We cannot comment absolutely on hypothetical scenarios. Generally, a ROBOT pinning a BALL against a ROBOT of the opposing ALLIANCE will not be considered a violation of G12. Per G29, pinning is transitory through other objects; there is no exception for BALLS or GOALS.
