Maybe I should have said, "contacts while driving." The point is that if the hurdling robot simply cannot move backwards, due to there being a robot parked behind them, the parked robot is pinning unless the hurdling robot can move forwards. And, as I said before, some folks with arms may have already figured this strategy out and rendered it useless.
