Re: The 469 auto

469 (or any other robot) parking in the tunnel does NOT cause another team to get a penalty. If a team can't get over the bump, they must have gone through the tunnel in the first place. When they did that, and if an alliance partner was already in the other team's near zone, that's when the penalty happened. It didn't happen when their escape route was blocked.

If one robot went over the bump and another through the tunnel at the same time, one of them had better turn around pronto. If the tunnel got blocked just after the transit, then the one who went over the bump has go get back.
