Re: Can a spybot start with a boulder?
Confirmed implicitly by Q763 (emphasis mine):

If considered a crossing, would the defense be weakened?
- A. Yes, the BOULDER may be scored. No ROBOT has caused the BOULDER to CROSS into the COURTYARD since it started the MATCH in the COURTYARD, so G40 is not relevant. A spy bot may CROSS the OUTER WORKS, however, in order for it to CROSS, the ROBOT must meet the requirements outlined in Section 3.1.3 (i.e. moving from the COURTYARD to the NEUTRAL ZONE is not CROSSING the OUTER WORKS).
