Unofficial Defensive strategy

A pin can be against the cones. But, yes, a judgment call. However, since the referee called it - I would have been upset that the rules were not then followed.

Yes, I agree with you about the falling stack. Everything happens so quick - it is probably more likely than not that gets you a DQ. We have the benefit of the video to see that it was dropped on the opposing robot.

Please see this ruling…

It will only be considered as trapping if the robot has no avenue of escape (but it has never been ruled as a pin).
But for this case, the robots can escape.
