Example: when a robot gets pinned for 5 seconds and the robot doing the pinning backs away the refs usually stop the count and begin a new one if they pin them again.

The rule actually states that the robot that is doing the pinning has to back off 3 feet for 3 seconds before it can go back to pinning.
