Check on ebay. I remember a team or team leader who bought all of the 2002 and 2003 electronic parts from IFI. The problem he found with the electronics is that they could not use the 2002-2003 electronics on there 2004-2005 robot so he decided to sell all of the electronic components on ebay. the prices were pretty ridiculous. every component began at a starting bid of .01. Though I don't know if he ever sold them or they are still for sell, but you are almost guaranteed to find what you need on ebay. Hope this helps.
