The team was free to move off of the batter, at any time they felt like (and did by going along the side of the defending robot with minimal turning).

Are we looking at the same video?

330 did not move off until after 5845 moved and the pin count was over.
5845 made contact with 330 at 1:46 in the video. Immediately thereafter, the Ref started the Pin Count, at which point 5845 made contact again with 330. 5845 then backed off, but it did not back off 6', so the Ref continued the count. When 5845 finally separated by 6', the Ref then waived off the Pin.
During the first 2 bumps (and an almost 3rd bump), 330 was not "free to move off the batter". After the bumps, 330 could have moved, but 5845 had to move back by 6' in order to have the pin count called off. Once the pin starts, it is not merely giving the other robot room to move, you have to give it 6' of room to move.
