<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.

It's almost been asked: http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=11440 The GDC refers to this as a basic safety issue not needing a specific rule. The same would apply to reaching over the driver station wall.
