Joey,
I cannot see that update #15 is written to make a team sit there for 6 seconds, only to determine if another robot will move or not. I think it is very clear that the rule is there to allow a team to break <G22> by "bumping to pass" waiting the full 6 seconds, and then proceeding without incurring a penalty...i believe that is the instance. <G22> doesn't change....however "proceed without incurring a penalty" seems to me that it is made to allow an instance for a team to go around a robot that is impeding them. In this case the bluabot is impeding, however because of the e-stop they do not incur that penalty.
