Answered: Definition Of Pinning

I would just like to confirm this . Both Gates are up , if the blue alliance entered the red isolation zone and was about to score in the high goal and was pushed by a red alliance robot.The blue alliance , being a 6 wheel omni base was pushed to the floor goal at the corner of the red isolation zone , only having little space to exit. Would this be consider pinning ?

Yes, the situation described meets the criteria for pinning. The definition of pinning is quoted below.

Pinning – A Robot is considered to be Pinning an opposing Robot if it is inhibiting the movement of an opponent Robot while the opposing Robot is in contact with the foam playing surface and another Field Element.
• Please note: The definition of Pinning does not require contact between the Pinning and pinned Robot. Trapping a Robot in a corner of the field is considered Pinning.
