Serious question about defense No Flaming!

I have been searching the rule book thoroughly, and I have come up with a possible strategy that may be used at some point by some team at some regional... etc. Read carefully.

Scenario: Robots 1, 2, and 3 are on the red alliance, while robots 4, 5, and 6 are on the blue alliance. The blue alliance notices that none of the bots on the red alliance are capable of grabbing a tetra from the autoloader. To gain an advantage over the opponent, robots 4 and 5 drive over to the human player loading triangles and completely cover them, making sure not to bump into a robot that is already there. This leaves robot 6 to score throughout the match, while the red alliance helplessly wanders the field without a way to get tetras onto the field.

I know many of you are thinking: What about that rule where you interfere with a bot while loading, you get flags. This is a different circumstance. Picture 2 opposing robots driving over and completely covering the triangles. This makes it impossible for the red alliance to get a tetra on the field without a 10 point penalty. Also, the interference penalty is only in effect if the blocking robot interferes after the red alliance bot is already in the zone. If they can never get into the zone, is this null and void.

As I stated in the topic, I'm not asking for someone to say I'm un-GP. All that I am asking is an official or at least semi-official answer to this question. Thank you for reading this far.
