What if you had a robot start in the middle zone that beat them to the tunnel, then when teleop starts go completely into the tunnel. That way if they wanted to get into position they would have to push you out into their near-zone. But if you already have one of your alliances robots there they couldent move you out without getting penalized? Becuase you are not allowed to cause another team to get a penalty.....so then they would have to push you from the other side, but if they did that then they still couldent get into position unless they timed it perfectly.....
