IIRC, most refs will tend to favor the offensive robot in those calls, and your alliance risks failing inspection if the RI believes that your blocker exists for more than boulder blocking.

From the Q&A and related discussion, my understanding was that if your blocker exists for blocking shots, the cheesecaked wall would be perfectly legal.
If the cheesecake wall exists singularly to block/interfere with cameras, it wouldn't be allowed.



EDIT-
To get this post back on topic, If I were the GDC I would eliminate rules based on intent. Things either happen or they don't, but there's quite a bit that we didn't mean to do.
