Re: Is pinning opposing robots trailers allowed?

To answer your question, yes, pinning your opponent and/or their trailer is allowed. The practicality however is questionable.

When you pin them:
-You are on regolith and they are on carpet (This is the intent of the carpet).
-They stop making them an easier target.
-You also stop making you an easier target.
-You are close to your opponent making it more likely that your human player will accidentally hit your trailer...I know, I know, you have perfect aim right?

On the other hand, pinning them to dump the contents of your robot into their trailer may be a more viable strategy.
