It could be put at a height that the top pin would stop, what i will call a wall, from falling all the way to the floor. This gap at the floor is so your bot can slide the wall up and push the game piece into the scoring area.
The pins can still be locking pins where you take the next piece of piping (one per side) that has a groove in it that is L-shaped. Push it on, rotate, and it locks. If any of you work in a hospital, it is much akin to the locking cap on a Swan-Ganz catheter sheath.
