In Q&A post 1658, it mentiones that "one robot (blue alliance) is match loading and an opposing robot (red alliance) comes and traps/defends them but the blue robot continues match loading"
The committee's response clarifies this is not trapping but does not clarify if this is pinning. The definition of pinning seems to be meet as the robot is pressed against the match load bar. Does attempting to escape need to be demonstrated to be pinning?
Holding - A Robot status. A Robot is considered to be Holding if it meets any of the following criteria during a Match:
Trapping - Limiting the movement of an opponent Robot to a small or confined area of the field, approximately the size of one foam field tile or less, without an avenue for escape. Note that if a Robot is not attempting to escape, it is not considered Trapped.
Pinning - Preventing the movement of an opponent Robot through contact with the Field Perimeter, a Field or Game Element, or another Robot.
Lifting - Controlling an opponent’s movements by raising or tilting the opponent’s Robot off of the foam tiles.
