This is a little off topic of the low bar but this diagram brings up an interesting point. If this robot is up on the batten scoring and a defensive robot parks perpendicular behind it and the offensive robot cannot push it out of the way is it still considered a pin? I imagine that teams may have trouble with traction due to the batten material.

I haven't seen an official pinning definition in the Q&A yet. Does it count as a pin to just park there and hold them if we don't initiate contact?
