Unintentional impeding is allowed, however intentional impeding is not allowed in hybrid mode from the Q&A.

The purpose of these modifications is not to permit the intentional blocking of the Track during Hybrid Period.

The accidental creation of obstructions on the Track during Hybrid Period may be unavoidable and will not be penalized. However, intentional strategies designed to block traffic during the Hybrid Period will not be permitted. This may be considered a Yellow Card offense.
I was at the midwest regional today, and it was obvious that robots moved forward to block 1024's amazing autonomous modes. The refs never called a penalty. It is not like this happened just once, teams were doing it to them all day.
