Carabiners can be useful if your robot can apply enough force to make it stick there (for the spring gate to open, i mean).
If you don't wanna get stuck under the tunnel you can do it strategically by lifting the back of your robot before your front or mechanically by keeping your front bot in a curved shape or a straight one, without bumps to get stuck under there. Yes, i know, "what about the bumpers?!"... make some mechanism that will fall over your bumper to give your bot's front curved or higher than the tunnel.

for example:

Consider this with your peers and Mentors... Good luck
