Pinning
It is not permitted to hold or restrain an opponent for more than 30 seconds, for example, where a hydraulic
crushing weapon grips its opponent, or one robot pins its opponent to arena side or floor, to do so is instant
disqualification. If two or more robots become entangled or a crushing or gripping weapon is employed and
becomes trapped within another robot, then the competitors should make the timekeeper aware, the fight
should be stopped and the robots separated by the safest means. The fight will then be judged to the point
where the robots became trapped.
