I do not see why that would be illegal. You are merely pushing against the goal (legal) with a vertical face of your bumper/robot even if it does provide a more effective control surface. As long as you do not have anything going into the other goal or somehow attaching yourself to it, fair game. Pinning is legal, the only question is can you actually do it given the primary problem this year: moving across the field.
