The team update made it very clear the rule is designed such that trying to get a boulder from the secret passage is going to be dangerous if there's an opposing robot over there. If there's not then if you have two boulder scoring robots you can pretty well guarantee a selection of boulders to choose from without leaving the enemy courtyard.

You are correct if alliances do not plan for this. Offensive bots need to rotate through the field so they are not getting in each other's way in the court yard. Have one in court yard while other is in secret passage area, rotate. You'll be in greater risk of penalty.

Students design and build it, the engineers/mentors are there to guide us when we stray off the path. A great way to learn, a great way to mentor, a great way to grow. - chellyzee93 [more]
