This does indeed sound interesting.  But when Barb says during eliminated
outside help she was right, but is that exactly what we want?  I encouage
my students to discuss projects like this with people in the field and to
even solicit their "help".  Isn't that how we learn and how the world
works?  I will surly ask someone familiar with my fuel injection system
how to solve a problem before I dive in and do it all by myself.  I
probably don't have the tools and for sure could use some hints on how to
fix it.  I want to save the money by fixing it myself, but I don't want to
make a real mess of it because I went totally solo.  So don't we need to
define outside help here?  I would suggest that the students be able to
build a prototype and bring it with, if you are going to require it to be
done at the competition.
