No, the Robot must be entirely in the Launch Area in order to Launch the Robot.  See Rule 21, Launch Sequence:

READY SITUATION: Your Robot and everything it’s about to move or use is arranged as you like. It must fit completely in the Launch Area and measure no taller than 12 in. (30.5 cm).

One more question:

Our team wants to launch robot with part of it in the home area and part of it in launch area. Is this allowed?

Thanks
