There were two instances of where 16 looked to be "trapped" for over 5 seconds without chasing 48. There was also over a 15 second period of time in which bomb squad could not escape through the secret passage either (noting that the game manual generally considers this an egregious pin that would've resulted in a red card for the blue alliance). Also, the referees were not even counting the pin when it was solid contact between both robots and 16 on the alliance wall.
Even though the secret passage was an option, it was very likely that 48 would have continued the pin onto Bomb Squad, also drawing a tech foul onto the red alliance.
The argument that the Bomb Squad's driver motions is that a video review would reduce the chance of any uncertainty and make these calls indisputable.
