Wrong on both counts. Ask Foley Freeze.

If the shooting robot is low, you only have to be taller than that.

If the shooting robot bumps into the blocker, that is a "bump to pass" signal. Impeding may or may not apply, depending on if there is a clear path or if the blocker robot is moving side to side. It is hurdling interference only if the blocking robot bumps the shooter, not the other way around.

Correct, but if the defender/blocker bumps into the hurdler, the defender gets a penalty for interferring with hurdling (provided the hurdler is moving foward or the ball is higher than the lane dividor). While it is risky and requires some good drivers not to run into the shooters, it can be very effective. One of the best plays I've seen this year was 537 block both 1625's and 1730's potential hurdles. It was very cool.
