There is nothing in the rules that says you have to get out of a damaged robots path and allow them to go where they want to.

when you see the video you will notice that 1370 intentionally backed thier robot up to block our path as we attemped to get away. Pinning is refered to as inhibiting the movement of another robot and i belive that they did just that.
Also, i cant believe that some of you people are considering it wasnt a pin because we could have designed our robot to go up the ramp or be strong enough to push the other robot off. If that is the case then there is no need for the pin rule at all. No matter how you get pinned there will always have been some design for your robot that would have allowed you to get out.
