I believe our electronics group typically replace only the blown ones, then bench test the rebuilt unit.
The FETs used are IRL3103 (International Rectifier) or an equivalent like FDB6035AL (Fairchild Semiconductor) for our competition victors, but close matches have been used for ones on the practice or older robots.
