Agreed, which leads me to question some of the logic involved with the strategy. It would become easy for the robot stuck in the secret passageway to dart about for a bit, and lure/trick the opponent into crossing into the secret passage, either due to a lack of control or just a quick movement. However, at the NYC Regional, it was shocking the number of times defensive robots didn't take advantage of the fact that an opponent was sitting in the secret passage (we in fact got stuck on a boulder in our opponent's secret passage, and incurred no penalty as all opposing robots were focused on breaching).
