Like last year, a team could pin a robot against the wall for 5 seconds, back up and let them move foward and then pin them again.

It's not 2006 or 2007 -- you can't keep pinning. The whole text of <G41>:
Quote:

<G41> Permitting To Pass - When a ROBOT has received a signal to pass (see Rule <G38>), or when the REFEREE signals that a ROBOT is pinning an opponent in place, the ROBOT shall have 6 seconds to move out of the way and create a “passing lane” to allow the opposing ROBOT through. ROBOTS that fail to do so within 6 seconds after the “signal to pass” shall receive a PENALTY. Repeated infractions will result in a YELLOW CARD being issued to the ROBOT.

You can only attempt repeated pinning as a defensive strategy if you are willing to risk being disqualified.
