There are ways. Tell your mentor that the battery can go through a top deck. The rule isn't "easily accessible" (though that is a good thing for ease of maintenance); it's that the lights need to be visible. That could be done with Lexan.

And for the speed controller for each motor, I refer you to

[R46]Each power-regulating device (speed controller or relay module) shall control one and only one electrical load (motor, actuator, electric solenoid, or compressor).
Exception: Multiple low-load, pneumatic solenoid valves or lights may be connected to a single relay module. This would allow one relay module to drive multiple pneumatic actions or multiple lights. No other electrical load can be connected to a relay module used in this manner.

IIRC, there were 4 Jaguars in the KOP.
