BaneBots Shorted, Now What Do I Do?

I've got a fairly large problem. My shooter subteam came to me today and said that one of their two BaneBots 775s burned out. This was in their attempt to construct a working shooter (they've never succeeded in making a functioning shooter thusfar). After perusing ChiefDelphi, I can see that
BaneBots shorting is a common problem. So where do I go from here? I have several options:
A. Attempt to fix BaneBot motor.
B. Order new BaneBot motors (their shipping lag is currently around six days, and this also shares a problem with option A in that I don't know if the shooter will even work once they actually assemble it with BaneBot motors).
C. Redesign shooter to accomodate different type of motor. Another team recommended using FP motors, but those are both currently in use by our ball conveyor belt.
Our current shooter design looks very similar to iR3 Creative's rectangular shooter system. Is there another option here I'm not seeing?

I'd really appreciate some mentors weighing in, because I have no adults to consult with. We're now rather short on time, and I need some experienced opinions on what the fastest way to get a working shooter is. It doesn't have to be the world's greatest shooter, just something that's reasonably effective. Thanks in advance.
