G20 Robots may only enter or exit their opponents secret passage from/to the opponents courtyard.

Does it mean you can't enter secret passage from neutral zone?
Can you go from courtyard to secret passage to neutral zone?

Thanks.

Simplest way I can explain it:

From their courtyard you can enter at will their secret passage but can not exit it into neutral and you high risk being fouled by any touch of their bots while your bot parts are contacting carpet in their SP.

You cannot use their SP to enter their courtyard from neutral.

So unless you are playing a risky defensive strategy the opponents SP is just for accidental entry. I have a feeling most teams will treat it as a no go driving zone, except for possible boulder entry blocking/stealing most likely from their courtyard for some aggressive defensive teams or possible offensive acquisition.
