Touching the tape on the tile

<SC5> A field tile is considered Covered if it is being contacted by a Robot at the end of a Match.

We've already had the scenario couple of times where the robot is not touching the tile, but is touching the white tape on the tile. Would touching the white tape on a tile be considered covered?

Yes. As long as the white tape has not lifted from the field tile, a tile should be scored as Covered by a Robot even when the Robot is touching only the white tape on that tile.
