OK, put a robot at the base of the T. (number 3)
as it drives up the pipe, it reads the RED tape. so it should turn left to
the # 2.
so far easy.

same T, but this time from the back.
(notice how the 1 and 2 are reversed)
same robot, starts at the 3... but because it is now at the "back" of the T,
when it sees the red tape it will turn left. as agreed. (red = left)
~B U T ~
now, instead of going to # 1 it actually heads to # 2
