Has anyone had an event supervisor request the three frequencies your sumo can use when you have a spread spectrum remote? If so, how'd you respond?

at our NorCal states, Mira Loma had a bot design verrrry similar to the one that has been talked about being used by LASA(i dont know who that is). mira loma's bot was a black box with a fan on top and it made a lot of noise. in the first round, it got wedged and the fan shot up in rpm's and went up in flames.
when i went up against them the second time (battling for 3rd place) i was able to wedge them, but their little foil thing got caught on the ground, so i had to keep getting on and off the throttle and slooowwwllly inch them out of the ring. then the foil stuff got caught on the tape and... you get it. i finally was able to push them out and beat them. i got third and they got 4th. Watch out for them at Nationals. they will have dumped even more money into their bot, so have a good wedge ready.
woops, nevermind, i see nationals already happened...
and i see mira loma didnt do well in sumo bots.

How does stacking fans even do anything? You still get the same cfm going through each fan, so it wouldn't seem like you would get a higher total air flow. If you wanted overkill you should have gone for these 120's

This is somewhat unrelated to the topic, but does anyone know where I can purchase about 6 or 7 servos for cheap? I plan on working on a little project over the summer, I want good quality, standard sized servos, but I'm not sure where I can get them for as cheap as possible.....
