Note that the Robot is attempting to hang a game peice. They are "immune" to a pinning violation. I assume that immune means that they will not be called on them. The robot being discribed is clearly the one scoring as the last one states that it is as long as it is continuing to attempt to hang.

I'm going to justify my belief by challenging the wording. When the GDC uses the term violation, it does not appear to mean penalty to me. Had they said the team hanging a game piece would be immune from the pinning penalty, i'd follow what is being said 100%. However, the choice of violation makes it seem like a team committing the pinning against them would be immune as well, or simply no action would be taken for robot-to-robot contact.
