Re: YMTC: Bluabot sits on Redabot

the red bot is not 'pinned' if it is free to drive away

the blue bot is preventing it from going up - it is blocking its path in the Z direction

but its not necessarily pinning it so it cant move at all.

besides, the rules state pining only applies when:
Quote:
(inhibit the movement of another robot while on the carpet)...
on the carpet

also from the rules:

Quote:
SUPPORTED – If the “supporting object” is removed, the ball would not remain SCORED or CAPPED and/or the ROBOT would not remain HANGING.
if you are sitting on top of another bot, and your cables are slack, or your arm is loose, then you are not hanging to begin with, so you cannot 'remain' hanging when the bot is removed
