Your tall opaque robot is now illegal

Apologies for the inflammatory title, but I predict that this Q&A response is likely to cause some enforcement issues at upcoming events.

Is it now illegal to play defense on an opponent whose camera is mounted low enough such that your robot blocks its view of the goals? Where is the line drawn between blocking the camera vs. blocking actual shots? If you mount a vertical flap of polycarb to your robot and say that it's just there to block flying boulders, does that make it okay?
