Actually, blocking your opponent's view is illegal. It was answered on the FIRST Q/A page.

Section: 4.4.3 Date Posted: 1/11/2004 Status: Answered
Q: Will it be permissible to intentionally block the opposition's view of the playing field for the obvious reason of limiting their ability to operate their robots?
A: No. This violates gracious professionalism.


Also, it was answered that 1 robot can only block 1 ball chute at a time.

Q: How many of the doggy doors which let the robot push balls to the human player are open at a time, and can we block them?
A: The "doggy doors" are open cutouts aka Ball Chutes in the diamond plate so they are always open. Regarding blocking of the Ball Chutes, please refer to new Rule <G26>... 1 robot can only block 1 Ball Chute of the opposing alliance at a time.
