This is definitely risky, but given that the match doesn't have to happen until Saturday, you've got good odds that the teams could make it. The winning robots/tools/etc. can ship in crates on the trucks transporting the fields etc. anyways. That just leaves the problem of getting team members there. Booking flights that tight is painful, but almost certainly doable, since flying in Friday night means you're not fighting the hundreds of other teams for flights. Flying in just for Saturday also means little or no extra missed school.
