I agree that the carpeted area is going to play a large role in limiting the ability of a robot to pin a robot on any outside edge. Also, I believe that it will make it easier for teams to maneuver to the outpost opening to pickup empty cells and also to deposit them into the airlock.

However, as noted by the bold, we cannot think that a pinned robot will be able to spin out due to the trailer. They will be able to move side to side along the wall, but will never be able to make that quick turnaround exit (or spin) that we usually think of when trying to evade pressure from other robots.
