2016: The year of bullying kitbots and hypothetical situations

So I find G21 scary. I might even call 2016 the year that kit bots were bullied. I originally didn't think twice about shoving a robot out of my courtyard or the neutral zone into my secret passage (in fact shoving a robot out of your courtyard into a defense ends up running into G43) but with this first update the GDC is making it clear what happens when you get caught in your opponents secret passage. The changes to G21 doesn't make pushing a robot into the secret passage a "simple" defensive option, you now are gaining 5 points in score and 1 hit point for the tower. If your robot can't hold its ground in a shoving contest, you are going to find yourself making a match snowball out of control. Anyone have thoughts on this?

The Q&A frowns upon hypothetical situations, but I have a hypothetical situation which I imagine will happen a lot during competition.
Robot A is pushing Robot B
Robot B is capable of moving in one direction (therefore it does not qualify as a pin)
HOWEVER
If Robot B does move in said direction it violates any of the following rules
G21 The only direction Robot B could move is into an opposing robot in their secret passage
G27 Robot B is carrying a boulder and it could escape the pin by moving into the secret passage
And of course god forbid G45

Q&A Hype!
