In my opinion, no such additional time should be awarded or considered. Sometimes, in real life, things happen that are completely beyond your control, but you are still responsible and accountable to deliver on time. Learning how to recover from such a hardship is part of the educational experience you're getting from FIRST.

In life, IT Happens. And when it does, professionals get to work to make IT Happen on time.
