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.

I'd call it a G25 Blockade. It looks like RED ROBOTS stopped the flow of the match for 30 seconds. At least the BLUE alliance flow. I do not know the history of G25, so I may be way off.

3.2.5.8 G25
ROBOTS on the same ALLIANCE may not blockade the FIELD in an attempt to stop the flow of the MATCH. This rule has no effect on individual ROBOT-ROBOT interaction.
Violation: TECHNICAL FOUL
