Re: pinning being called consistently?

Nothing in the rules require the robot being pinned having to "try" to move. A robot can sit on the batter the entire match. As soon as a robot from the other alliance gets close enough to block it it, the PIN starts.

The PIN rule does not require "intent", unlike other rules that require a "strategy", etc.
