[Ken Leung]

Needless to say, your opponent will do whatever they can to get your robot out of their sight... That includes driving their robot blindly into your robot that's blocking their driver at full speed. Since you blocked their vision, you cannot say they are intentionally attacking your robot since they do not know where their robot is heading in the first place. You better build a robot so strong that can take all the hits, or 3 or 4 rounds into the competition you are going to have a dead robot.

On a more positive reason for not doing this... If you have to block your opponent's vision to win the competition, then I say you learn nothing from the competition at all. The competition is supposed to teach you gracious professionalism, and it is a program that allow you to challenge your mind and your hand in a short period of time. If you have to use these short cuts to disable your opponent's team just to win the championship, then you don't deserve to win at all. You are only unfairly taking away other's chance to win the game, and you are wasting your's and everyone else's time this way.

Think more about this, and maybe... just maybe you will understand the spirit of the competition. If not, then you are in this for the wrong reason.
