[YMTC]: Pinning
This conundrum occurred to me today while I was taking the SAT. I was hoping for you all's thoughts on it.
During a match, RedTeamBot pins BlueTeamBot in such a way as to trigger the referee countdown. The force dislodges one of RedTeamBot's bumpers, and RedTeamBot gets disabled by the referees before being able to back away from BlueTeamBot. BlueTeamBot, seeing an opportunity, remains where they are, hoping for a steady stream of penalty points from RedTeamBot's pin.
YMTC: Should the blue alliance receive the penalty points?
