I’m guessing that by “engines” you mean NXT motors. If so, then Rule #4 explicitly states “You are allowed a maximum of three MINDSTORMS™ motors in the competition area.”
 
The fact that the kids are asking a question like that means they probably are not reading the rules, mission definitions and robot game update postings as well as they should. Apart from conforming to the rules, knowing them intimately will give them ideas on how to be creative within their constraints.

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Additional Engines?
 
All,
 
The kids were wondering if we are allowed to add additional engines beyond the 3 that came with the kit. 
 
Thanks in advance for you help,
Scott James
