If I recall, it doesn't say defense is just impeding or blocking. But there is clear evidence that we want the game to be won through offense... and moving other robots around isn't Triple Play's meaning of offense.

Pushing a team onto one of it's stacks is a single maneuver that can swing the score of a game massively. It does this without the team gaining the advantage even touching a tetra. That's quite possibly the most aggressive defense possible. We clearly don't want teams to win through such methods. Regardless of offense, defense, and intent of the rules, this is a gamebreaking method that can have one robot shift a game's score as many as 30 points. It must be taken care of, unless we want to see teams winning with it at the championship.
