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.
I believe the situation in question is that you were defending against 469 and they pushed you under the tunnel into the opponent area. The OP of this situation wanted to use this as a way to get 2 bots into the defense area legally
