What if the blocking robot used robocoach controls for forward and backward movements, and then actively tried to block (intercept) oncoming opponents?

Someone is sure to take this next step.
If someone did that, they'd probably get called for impeding. That's part of the definition of impeding--one way is moving back and forth across the track with intent to block. Active blocking would get that penalty probably 90% of the time.
