For that past couple years, and this year too, you're supposed to point at the robot with one hand, and do a "tomahawk" chop with the other hand every second until you reach 5. And if the pinning stops in time, you give the baseball "safe" signal. No action should be done with the flag either.

Even though the signals that referee performed we not technically correct, everyone recognized that he was counting for a pin. I'm still trying to figure out why in the world it would have been called though.
