Which would be 12 hours of taking the robot out of the bag.
Will our rookie team get disqualified and not allowed to compete if it turns out those extra 6 hours of taking the robot out of the bag were not allowed? Would hate it if we were kicked out because of that.

Your best bet? Call FIRST on Monday morning and ask them directly. They would be able to definitively give you an answer. Up until then I would recommend not doing any more than your 6 hours. I can't confirm that you'll be DQ'ed, but I can guarantee that if you did more than your allotted hours, there WILL be ramifications that won't be too pleasant.
