I have seen this happen at GTR and know of it happening at least once at Championships. In the case at GTR, the team's robot did arrive for Saturday morning and they were able to use it to compete... although they had used a different (and amazingly competent!) robot the previous day.
This was team #4 in 2006. I remember the announcement on Saturday morning that their robot at arrived at the building, and the whole arena cheered.

On Friday they ran with a dumper bot that was astoundingly effective, given that it was built on Thursday.
