The technique for not getting pinned in the when hit in the middle is a little counter-intuitive. The "initially logical" way will actually get you pushed straight to the side and then pinned against the wall. The other technique usually will help you get away as long as the other bot is not significantly faster.
I am going to leave this one a little open for others to contemplate. Feel free to post the solution if you figure it out. I want to diagram the physics of this technique as it is a really neat and "counter intuitive" thing.

Wouldn't you just let go of the sticks? .. and if that doesn't work turn into them? (if you can get traction) That's my first response to the situation..
I haven't had the opportunity to be under heavy defense yet, so I'm not sure.. Can't wait for LA
