I really questioned the legality of this move, and was a bit angered to see it. It would be one thing if Thrust has driven themselves in the goal and you had just sat your robot behind them to hold them there, or even if you had just further nudged them in, but consciously pushing them in and knowing that they could not drive out of the goal is an entirely different matter.
Also, I'm not entirely sure that the move in itself was legal:

I would consider that strategy aimed at entangling the robot in the goal so that it cannot get out.
