The next design challenge is how to power the steps... Having a motor to each step will allow a great deal of flexibility in terms of the programming and animation of the steps. This will allow complex patterns and waves of movement, which would be purely visual and would have no functionality. However using more than one motor increases the complexity of the wiring to the power of each step used. By allowing each step to have independent movement could allow interesting interactive elements like in Michael Cross's "bridge" (pictured)
