6 feet won't be that hard to estimate. It's 2xlong side of robots and 3x short sides of most robots on the field.

As to pining about no pinning - back off brutes! I've been reading various brags about how they're not going to be pushed or push people all over the field. Perhaps it comes from too much exposure to the many electronic games that emphasize anti-social gaming.

I think it's good that the game be compared to soccer. Just imagine if it were more like rugby! That would be a game for the heavy duty pushing machines all right. You've heard that soccer is a gentleman's game played by ruffians, while rugby is the ruffian's game played by gentlemen. Maybe next year for the rugby-like frame-crunching FRC game?
