Interesting idea though. I wonder if that would be considered pinning. Or instead what about a robot that encircles a moveable goal, trapping it?

I had once even thought of a robot that has really high traction and strong drivetrain. Then it has a hook and a winch. Then it could hook on to an opponent robot and reel them in to keep them from scoring. Or it could let them pull some line out if it wanted to. Of course it is porbably illegal and not GP and probably not incredibly useful because it would be a burden to the "fisherman-robot" too.
