I don't know how the other regionals were called, but at Pittsburg the pinning rule (G24 i believe) was COMPLETELY disregarded. If this was the case at the other regionals i would like to know before we go the the Annapolis Regional.

I would be interested to know the specific circumstances as many people do not know/understand the pinning rule (which has changed this year from previous years).

Directly from <G24> (emphasis added):

Pinning - While on the carpeted field surface, a ROBOT cannot pin (inhibit the movement of another ROBOT while in contact with a field element or border) for more than 10 seconds. This rule does not apply if either ROBOT is entirely on an ALLIANCE PLATFORM...
