You're correct about blockading all three, or likely even just two lifts.

As I stated, after doing a search in the manual, there are NO rules about touching an opposing lift, knocking a gear off an opposing lift, or (just now confirmed) interfering with the placement of a gear.

You've misremembered the rule about not touching a robot that's touching a rope. Or not touching an opponent's rope.
