somewhere when you designed your bot, you chose to make it fast or powerfull (geared up or geared down).
If someone can pin you, they must be more powerfull - but if you are faster, you should be able to get away from them the instant they back off.
sounds like your bot was both slower and weaker. I dont know what you used for drivetrain motors.
The only consolation I can offer is that while you were pinned you could do nothing, but neither could they.
But this is part of the design process - if someone builds a better machine than you, they are going to be able to dominate the field, and win. Whether that means getting boxes faster than you, or knocking your stacks down faster than you can knock their down, or pushing you off the top of the ramp
the better robot will still dominate the field!
Experience is a bitter teacher - first you are tested, then you learn the lesson :c)
