<G41> Permitting To Pass - When a ROBOT has received a signal to pass (see Rule <G38>), or when the REFEREE signals that a ROBOT is pinning an opponent in place, the ROBOT shall have 6 seconds to move out of the way and create a “passing lane” to allow the opposing ROBOT through. ROBOTS that fail to do so within 6 seconds after the “signal to pass” shall receive a PENALTY. Repeated infractions will result in a YELLOW CARD being issued to the ROBOT.

see also G42 again and it will help clarify things out.

good luck in israeli regionals!
I disagree-if you are "behind" them in a counter-clockwise direction, you hitting them would (I think) be considered a signal to pass by you-this would mean that (unless they were hurdling), they would have to move within 6 seconds, not you.
