Damaging defenses

A DEFENSE is CROSSED by a ROBOT when that ROBOT
■ starts free of contact with the DEFENSE and completely in the NEUTRAL ZONE
■ traverses the DEFENSE such that its BUMPERS go fully between the adjacent SHIELDS/GUARDRAIL,
and
■ ends up fully contained by the opponent’s COURTYARD. (Section 3.1.3 of the game section)
Basically, it doesn't count unless you start in the neutral zone. It wouldn't be damaging, although you are able to cross back over it.
