The blockading rule [G23] only applies to multiple robots blocking progress. One on one blocking is allowed. And via the official Q&A, blocking exit from the center bridge, in either direction (e.g. by preventing the bridge to lower with a robot already on it), is not considered a pin.

Not sure that a blocking robot would win many battles against a robot with an elevation advantage, but we'll see... I expect to see some interesting collisions at mid-field, and some heated arguments about whether damage to either robot should draw a technical foul or a yellow card.

However, I expect to see just as much blocking at the barrier. Should be a regular wrecking yard in some matches.
