As far as I can tell yes you can block shots, but one major downfall is that you can only be 60 inches tall while on the other teams side of the court. So you would only be an effective shot blocker on shots at the lowest goal or shots originating very close to the ground from the robot. It appears that although blocking shots was not banned, as far as I can tell, the game committee wanted to steer teams away from that strategy.
