Auto Setup Rule about Starting Line

Quick and simple question that I can’t figure out:

When I set up the robot before the match, can the bumper of the robot be on the Auto Starting line, assuming the robot’s metal frame is behind the tape?

*It might be more clear if I ask the question as: Is the tape considered a part of the Alliance Area?

From the manual: ROBOT STARTING ZONE: a 6 ft. 4⅛ in.-wide by 23 ft. 8⅛ in.-long (~193 cm by ~721 cm) infinitely tall
volume bounded by the ALLIANCE WALL, AMP ZONE, opponent’s SOURCE ZONE, and black tape. The
ROBOT STARTING ZONE includes the black tape and excludes the AMP ZONE and SOURCE ZONE tape.

Adding to that: what’s checked on the field will be if the bumper is in the zone. Not where the frame metal is, too hard to see it behind said bumper.
