<G20> specifies that Moon Rocks can't be thrown around the end of the Alliance Station Wall, and it also says that the HP can launch them over the wall, but we were just wondering if there's a "ceiling" above which no HP can reach/jump. Trivial, maybe, but it could make a difference.
I would ask Q&A On this for an official answer but, In years past the confines of the Field and Drivers Station are usually referred to as extending infinitely in the vertical directions (within limits of the venue). So, In theory you can jump as high as you want as long as you don't break the plane between the Drivers Station and Field.
