IMHO, the issue is where the other robot can go. If the robot can only go forward into a guard rail, and backwards into a defending robot, then that is a pin. If the robot can only move into a "trapped' area (corner), then that is also a PIN.
Here is an interesting case:
1) Robot is scoring a low goal in the goal on the side of the Secret Passage.
2) Defending Robot is sitting 6" away in the Courtyard - between the Castle and the Secret passage.
When Scoring Robot exits the Batter, it is pretty much stuck. If it backs up further to go around the defending robot, it will be in the Secret Passage, and exposed to a foul.
