pinning being called consistently?

Calling a pin foul there was not warranted IMO and looks as if the refs called it correctly.

I saw a similar play where the bot had every opportunity to move but chose to stay put to make a HG shot... if a bot chooses to stay put how can a pin ever be called? Since the definition states the offender "prevents or stops" not the bot who is deciding to stop.

I would have called this (the second video) the same way as the red headed ref. Preventing a robot from moving does not require that robot attempting to move. 330 is prevented from moving at 1:46 even though they make no attempt to do so.
