Dangerous Zone Entrance

Hello
I have a question about the position of the “Dangerous Zone Entrance”.

In Rescue Maze Rules 2025
3.5.2 The Dangerous Zone is marked by a red tile at the entrance and completly surrounded by walls.

Does this mean that the Red Tile will be placed inside the surrounding walls, so that the robot can make any turn (except a U-Turn) after driving from the “Normal Zone” on the Dangerous Zone Entrance and end up in the Dangerous Zone? Like this:

Or is it also possible that not all turns lead to the Dangerous Zone? Like this:

Hi @thilo!

When the robot steps onto the red tile from outside, it is already inside the danger zone. According to the rules, the danger zone is surrounded by walls, so the red tile can only be reached from one direction (from outside the danger zone). That’s why the first illustration is possible, while the second one is not, because the red tile is not surrounded by walls, so it’s not inside the danger zone.
