Not sure how other regionals will call it, but in St. Louis you could really only blockade the protected feeders. As long as a theoretical route is open, then it's not blockading, even if none of the robots can take advantage of said route (such as going under the pyramid).

One of our defensive strategies was to place a robot on each side of the pyramid to prevent the other alliance from feeding their full-court shooter. No G25 violations.

I'd talk to the head-ref at each event to figure out what you can get away with, because it is up to interpretation.
