If it's because of design constraints, you're probably not actually inhibiting the motion of the robot as it probably couldn't move on its own anyways (in fact, you might even be helping them get unstuck). However, the refs might not notice this and give you a penalty anyways since it's not possible to notice every single detail of a match.
Or are you saying that you're pushing them into the ramp and that they're not on the ramp?
As an addition, "each violation" can also be interpreted to only apply for each time you pin for more than 5 seconds.
