I've never had any problems getting enough spared from bartering with other teams for KOP bits that I wasn't using (finding a team that wasn't using the bit I was). Sometimes cash was kicked in by one or other side of the bargain.
Trust me, by the ship date, there will be a lot of horse trading going on around ChiefDelphi.com and elsewhere.
Bottom line: I wouldn't let lack of spares be the deciding factor in designing my robot -- especially the Mabuchi motors because I think a lot of teams will not use them (now if you want to say, 12W is not enough to do what I want to do in the time I want to do it, that is another story...)
