I don't mean to sound nasty or negative, I really don't agree with all of this talk about pinning the ball. For one, it takes the whole concept of the game and crushes it. The game this year was designed to be an offensive game, not a defensive game. Sure, defense will always be a part of the game but it comes in other forms. How about instead of pinning the trackball and basically giving a low-blow to the other alliance, just keep it out of the opposing alliance's possession. Get in the way when they are trying to pick it up, or push it out of the way. If you really are trying to ruin the game then by all means pin the ball in a corner, but it is not a sportsman-like strategy. It may not technically be against the rules, but does it really seem right?
