I would encourage your team to spend a bit of time thinking of how the number of mechanisms you are using to overcome the Defenses can be reduced. Since you have a small number of students, the extra time invested in thinking about reducing the number of mechanisms you will have to build (and buy materials for) will give greater returns to your team. It is also possible that in this exercise, your team might find a way to acquire and securely house a boulder using this mechanism With the limited resources you have available, it may be advantageous for you to plan on making use of the withholding allowance to buy you time.
