Re: Blocking a robot driving clock-wise
In past seasons - and we all know that what happened in the past is not necessarily how it will happen now - pinning was called only if a robot was physically holding another robot in contact with the wall or a field element. If there was room that the "pinned" robot could move back and forth, but maybe not maneouver to escape, that was considered to be a design fault of the "pinned" robot, not a penalty. However, once pinning did happen, the pinning robot had to move back 3 feet for 3 seconds, if I recall correctly.
