So the starting point is the same as most other rookie teams from last year except for a sponsor/mentor exchange.
Personally, I'd place higher value on tools and kit enhancing materials. If you find that some element in the kit needs replacing, all components are available either from the stock of other teams or brand new. Spending the money on a backup of the entire control system seems like overkill.

There is still plenty to discover about the system, but the failure data is already being used to address the issues encountered last year. As for the shock sensitivity, can you be more specific? I assume you are referring to the Driver Station?
