There are spares (or were) at the event.

Quite honestly, I don't really like the control system this year. There have been reports on top of reports of things breaking, frying at the slightest provocation, releasing magic smoke, etc. You'd think that with over a year to design for that, they'd be better. On the flip side, customer service has been excellent for the teams that do break system elements. I'm sure that there will be improvements for next year.
