When the GDC uses the word block, they seem to throw in "the entire track" or "the flow of traffic." Look at St. Louis finals match 1 where 45 blocked by driving 7 feet and stopping. They clearly did not impede as both robots passed by them just fine.
One robot can't impede unless it is weaving back and forth, which is also specifically called out in the rules.

Where have you found this hierarchy of power which you reference? I have found no statement which says the manual supersedes the Q&A and it would seem much more logical that the Q&A supersedes the manual. Similarly the rules you mention only refer to teleoperated mode so the manual is not clear on the subject.
