Re: Forced offside penalty?
Ashley is correct.
See the last part of <G26>.
If your backbot is indeed moving twards the centerline during the five second grace period, but is then held or pushed-backwards by an opposing 'bot, then your backbot is NOT penalized.
But, if your backbot is NOT moving towards the centerline or is still in the opponent's field, then yes you do incur a 5-point penalty.
Now, this does bring up an interesting point. This is what I'd call "mid-field pinning" or repeated blocking, and that's NOT covered under the <G24> pinning rules which only implies pinning of a robot against some fixed field object.
Looks like two buffalo going head-to-head on National geographic channel!
