If going through the tunnel is in no way interfering with another robot then I would rule no penalty.
Can you point to where that was the stated intent? Or are you just assuming?

In any case, if you can't see it, I don't think you can call it. For comparison, in hockey, a goal can't be ruled as such unless you can see the puck, even if you could safely assume it was underneath the goaltender while he was in the net.
