While this isn't immensely helpful right now, in past years, the Spare Parts booth at the regionals tended to have, well, spare parts. I think they usually had one or two control system replacements. (In the past that would be IO Boards, maybe a PDB, etc...)

Like I said, that doesn't help this early in the build season, but at least if it happens at competition, and your team doesn't have any spares, and you can't fix the issue, you have that as a backup (maybe).
