This sounds like a very cool project, and it would make a great display, but not a
good competition.
The problem is Wayne's module depends on both Ka-On's AND David's module. If either
doesn't work, the whole thing doesn't work.
It would be very nice to see something like that at a train or hobby show, but
generally the whole thing would need to be assembled and tested before the event.
