We need this fixed by Monday evening because we're using it in class to teach our students about the software on the robot. Thanks for any advice or help.

What are you doing not covering up your electronics!!!
I
think the jumpers on there are standard jumpers... the same size that are used in computers. You can likely buy them from any computer repair place or you can open up your system and yank one from the back your hard drive or cd rom (although I warn these devices may or may not continue to work). If the actual pins broke that the jumper connects to, you have a bigger problem... If that's the case I'd recommend (but really advise against) sauldering a small wire between the places the two jumpers used to be, but that might heat up some internal components to such an extent that you might permanantly damage the robot controller. I wonder if there is a default setting if you take off the jumper entirely?
