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.

It would be a judgement call on the referee as far as intentional blocking of their view, but technically they're saying it's not allowed...
I have not found any penalty associated with blocking the view of a driver or HP by a robot or a 2X ball held by a robot. But how affective is this strategy?
