Re: <G39> Pinning

I believe that, at any time, if the pinned robot cannot move at all, they are pinned. Anything else is just blocking the way.

I never felt comfortable playing with the rule anyway, but once in the NJ Regional there was a robot pushing a ball into their goal. The coach wanted me to actually park in front of the ramp, and it couldn't get out. It was definitely moving back and forth, and the judge did not start counting even after three or so seconds.

Even though it can prove to be very effective, I find it more effective to sit in front of their goal. I've been able to score before, even while pinned, because I'm still facing the goal.
