Therefore, It make sense to defend (but not pin) any redabots on the blue platform at the end of the match.

Just because I can't climb and be king of my own (blue) hill doesn't mean that I'm about to let any redabot "stragglers" from getting down off of my hill; correct? Just don't pin them up onto your platform.
Why not pin? It's allowed on the platform.

You can "touch" the redabot on the blue platform and that redabot still counts for the blue alliance.
Don't even have to be touching. Redabot could have gone up there under it's own power and then stalled - still counts for the blue alliance.

I guess it begs the question of why any alliance would want to park any of their bots on top of YOUR platform?
Maybe because then you're only about 2 feet from the center goal?
