Re: <G39> Pinning
I really like how pinning is addressed in the rules this year.
Pinning is a viable defensive strategy that I have been on both sides of in my FIRST career. It's an awesome weapon for a defensive robot, but the trade off is that it makes the match boring to watch, in addition to the fact that you're eliminating your opponent and yourself from the match effectively making it a 2 vs. 2. IMO, 5 Seconds is more than enough time to pin a machine and knock it off of it's game plan. In all reality, no one wants to see someone pin a good machine for an entire match. (Though I have been guilty of doing this before)
Also, think about it, there are way more effective defensive strategies than pinning.
