Pin vs Blockade vs Traffic Jam

If it is one-on-one, the only possible foul is a pin.

Once two bots on one alliance are involved, the blockade rule and pinning between the two bots, becomes an issue.

Has anyone seen a blockade call?

If one bot is blocking another bot from moving, advancing, or getting to a ball, should other bots stay far away to avoid the possibility of a blockade being called?

I remember seeing a situation where 3 bots were involved. one on offense, and two on defense. The ball was been the two defense bots and the wall. That made it virtually impossible for the offense to get to the ball. Is that a blockade situation?

Then there is the 4 bot traffic jam. One bot is trying to do something, and is defended by 2 bots, and another bot comes by to help. Then they all get stuck against the wall.

To keep the game moving, should two-on-one defense be discourage by more liberal calling of the Blockade foul?
