Thanks!

P.S. Where are the official FRC forums were I can get official answers to questions?
FRC forums are linked from the FIRST page. Find the Q&A page and you'll get a link. I don't think they'll be up for a couple days, though.

I don't see anything explicitly saying that it isn't legal. However: <G55> specifies that everybody needs to stay in particular zones. The zone boundary is the alliance wall. Therefore, breaking the plane would logically be leaving the zone, worth a penalty under <G55>.
