I don't think you can do repeated pinning this year. You didn't quote all of that rule:

<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.

It looks to me like if you keep pinning OR refusing to give way you can be yellow carded and ultimately DQ'd. That's a pretty big risk just to slow someone down.
