Question Post Competition and Pre-competition needs for 271

Does anyone have any double-solenoid valves? durin the semi-finals at LI a robot stuck their grabber into our eleectronics, pulled the lead off of one of our Fischer Price motors (robot still ran thanks to 2 motor per tire drive system) tore a hole in the pneumatic hose and DESTROYED one of our double solenoids, supposedly there will be replacements at the next competition but we want to make sure and we dont want to have to wait for them to open up the parts booth to start repairs. We also want to have extras in case. I contacted FIRST about getting others, they sent me to SMC, SMC said they don't stock them and that to order them would be 4-6weeks from Japan, and then they said to contact the two biggest SMC distributers, which neither had them. We would like to get them by the end of this week so we know we'll have them for New Haven. Anyone info can be posted here or directed to my email chubtoad@chubtoad.net
Thanks!!
