Herding would be the intent to gather more than one of your color's tubes into a certain area. If memory serves me right, a team at the BAE regional started their practice matches by driving to the opposite side of the field, lined their robot against the wall, and pushed the tubes to one corner. That is the only example of herding that I've seen or heard of so far.
To answer your other question, If you were to go down the line, knocking down one ringer at a time, it shouldn't be considered herding.
