[FTC]: Hanging Penalty?

So my team is wondering about the penalty that could incur whilst hanging.

The rule states: During the End Game, an Alliance’s Robot may not block access to the opposing Alliance Hanging Zone or interfere with an opposing Alliance’s Robot Hanging on the corresponding side of the Pull-Up Bar. If this occurs, the offending Alliance will incur a Major Penalty

We know that for example you are on the blue alliance, you must hang on the blue side of the bar. Does the penalty incur if your robot swings over the line, but the hooks stay in the same place?

Does this mean no part of your robot can cross the line, and if it does, and an opposing robot touches the portion of your robot on their side, is that automatically considered interference with their robot's hang?
