However they cannot move because you are pinning them. You cannot force them to commit a penalty (don't feel like looking up the exact rule) and you are pinning so you are the one that has to move within six seconds.

I would guess that parking behind a robot that cannot move forward due to an appendage will constitute pinning.

The other interesting part of this situation is, does either team really want to be a part of what happens if you go to far and push them into the overpass, toppling them onto your robot?
