Depending on your alliance, you may have already made their strategy all but useless. All you have to do is hold them off long enough to clear out as many balls as possible from their zone.

You would need to get out of the tunnel at the end of the match, to avoid a major penalty; that's my primary "don't go in there" reason. It's also not exactly easy to wedge in there.

If you're lucky, a partner comes over and adds a second robot to the pushing train. Now they're stuck... unless, of course, they realize that there's an easy way to get you out of there, cross a bump, and de-wedge you from the other side.
