If you hit the E-stop in there, you're pretty much making yourself eligible for a G25 as a strategy to impede match flow. It's not in there--that might be an oversight--but I would find it very difficult to NOT call it as a field blockade, UNLESS there was some overriding safety concern.

Seems like a good question for a Q&A, or an email to FRCteams more likely.
