The rules are pretty clear to me, but sometimes the actual gameplay is different.
This has major implications, because it basically means defending robots need to leave a clear path for robots to drive off the batter, or risk being called for pinning.

Update 10's blue box dealing with G22 pinning on the batter is ambiguous at best since it says the above actions by the defending robot " could be considered pinning". Mayhaps GDC and Q&A could use more direct language when crafting a blue box response the purpose of which is to clarify the GDC's intention behind a rule. As a suggestion, " will be considered pinning" works...
