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?

I not sure how good of a defensive strategy that is. The match is effectively 2 on 2, but the rest of the court is left wide open for the other robots to score. and if you are not clear of the court yard in the last 20 secs of the match, you risk big penalties.
