...what? The blue box added to G11 makes what happens here quite clear:
Quote:
B. A Red ROBOT is parked in the NEUTRAL ZONE near the Blue
SECRET PASSAGE. A Blue ROBOT pushes the Red ROBOT into
the Blue SECRET PASSAGE, then drives away. There is no violation
of G21 by the Red ROBOT, as the Red ROBOT was forced by the
Blue ROBOT into the SECRET PASSAGE. The Blue ROBOT has
violated G11 by forcing the Red ROBOT into the SECRET PASSAGE
for the sole purpose of causing them to violate G21.
While this is from the neutral zone, the concept is the same. G11 on the pushing robot.

As for the rest:

Outlined above. This is a G11 on Robot A.

1. This only applies in the neutral zone.
2. I don't see how holding a bolder changes the result of the G11 blue box.
