Moving to an intersecting location and then stopping in the path of a moving ball in such an orientation that the face of the robot causes the ball to rebound off it in a favorable direction seems like it should be considered an assist, especially if this cuts off a defender from redirecting the ball in a random direction.
Q&A should offer further clarification on this point, as it seems to be needed.
