I'd like to see that called as a G12. We had this happen to us in a scoring zone yesterday where 2 red robots had our alliance's blue ball cornered behind them next to our low goal. You'll see in the video below that it stopped our cycle for 30s. I don't blame the red alliance for employing this strategy because they weren't controlling the ball, they were just stopping us from getting to it. Definitely smart but I don't think it's a strategy that we'd want to see in this game and the rules should protect this from happening.
