The idea behind this rule is that, if you exceed 5', but do no harm, you will only be docked 5 points. If you exceed 5' and block shots, you have done harm, and you will be penalized more severely. There is no rule against blocking shots with your robot while it is within the proper size constraints. |
Sorry guys - should have read the rule for myself before posting.  Either way, it's going to be difficult to block a robot unless you are right in front of it - but then they can back up.
Again, sorry.
