Shouldn't be too bad--it's virtually level, and Hall 5 is maybe 5-10 minutes from Hall 6 (the arena, depending on where you're going in the arena). Hall 1, at the opposite end of the convention halls, would be another 10-15 accounting for traffic and robot towing.

Depending on how long calibration took, I'd say you could probably do it in about 30 minutes for both fields. 45 is a reasonable guesstimate to account for everyone else trying to do the same thing. Maybe as long as an hour.
