If you were to buy a second roborio, I'd buy the rest of the control system too. PDP, VRM, PCM, radio, and some motor controllers. FIRST Choice and the virtual KOP are good places to get these closer to and during the build season for free. (I would even use this year's voucher from CTRE (before April 30) to get more Talon SRXs or Victor SPs if you use either of those.)

As for the RSL and breaker switch, you will get another in next year's KOP, but if you want more than 2, you can probably ask some teams near you that have been around for a few years, as they would most likely be willing to let you have one or two (they pile up quickly).
