No you cannot. If a robot is transferring a boulder from neutral zone to courtyard it must go through (and completely CROSS) a defense. Secret passage is not a defense.

Even bumping it through intentionally would be against the rules. Accidentally it may happen of course

not from the neutral zone, from the secret passage (SP)

Transferring boulders from the opponent's SP to the opponent's courtyard is fine.

Ok. Yes as long as you remember that you had to get into their secret passage from their courtyard. and you cannot get in contact with their robots while in there.

Nor is the SP the Neutral Zone.

Scenario:
Robot is in the SP (or partially in the courtyard and partially in the SP).
Opposing alliance inbounds a boulder into the SP.
Robot intercepts the boulder.

At that point, the Robot can move the boulder into the courtyard because it is not a violation of G40 (G40 requires the boulder to be coming from the Neutral Zone). If the Robot is also simultaneously in contact with the SP and Courtyard, G39 would permit the Robot to Launch the boulder (take a shot at the goal).
