Blocking a robot driving clock-wise

I would guess that parking behind a robot that cannot move forward due to an appendage will constitute pinning.

The other interesting part of this situation is, does either team really want to be a part of what happens if you go to far and push them into the overpass, toppling them onto your robot?

If they truly could not move, then I guess they could not recieve a penalty and you would be considered impeding (actually didn't notice that part of the rule before!), but unless you are physically pinning their arm against the overpass I doubt that would frequently happen.
More likely, in terms of what I am picturing in my head (which is likely different from what is going on in yours), the robot-with-an-arm could probably get out by turning, etc., and if that was the case, I think arm-robot would be considered to be impeding, even if it could not immediately move forward or backward.
