I also believe that it would be a G11: It is clear that robots are supposed to, effectively, have the right-of-way in their own secret passage. If a robot is already actively playing defense and its opponent goes into the defender's secret passage, I would think that the defender would still be permitted to play defense. Forcing the defender to back-off would undermine the purpose of the passage...

From the looks of it, even if there is no defense being actively played, going into the opposing secret passage will be dicey... It seems that there are going to be more than a few short robots about and one could, very unexpectedly, go racing through the low bar after the same boulder the daring offensive robot might be chasing...
