How do I stop AVG's from blocking each other?

The AGV's seem to want to take the shortest route even if it means the program will error. Is there anything I can do to correct this?

For AGVs, preventing blocking can be as easy as placing a control point or control area, to creating a complicated traffic control that prevents AGVs from entering a group of paths. Look into the de-allocation methods for both control points and control areas, they can work together to achieve what you want.

Here is a simple model that shows a common blocking issue, and 2 ways of preventing it from occurring.
