I was thinking of maybe covering the blocks in some sort of conductive surface (aluminum foil?) in order to create a switch that is closed when all five blocks are stacked. Okay I was just thinki...

What about covering the blocks with something, as long as they are made of wood? Would that be constituted as legal?
