If you flip trying to get over the bump, your partner in the zone better try to show that effort because not even an E-Stop protects you from that. 2 robots flipped in the far zone after attempts to leave most likely would not incur any penalties since the original one was forced by 469
I'm pretty sure when the first robot flipped, it sure demonstrated an attempt to leave.

You're saying this like it's a likely nightmare scenario teams have to deal with. To be honest, there is almost no way this will happen, and on the off chance your tunnel bot just so happens to get forced through the tunnel by 469, I think simply trying to push against 469 would be okay.
