hi every one
I'm new here so i am confused as to where to post this topic but i guess this is the right place.
I am having a science project in my school and I am building a ship that could go a particular distance and return to the same spot again.There are restrictions that I cannot use combustion engines, pressurized fluids or any thing like that. Only a battery and motor( no size restriction on battery).
It will be like any normal ship except that both sides will be symmetrical because I am thinking of using an H-bridge to reverse the polarity of the motor.
Problems faced:
1. Can i use breadboard to mount microprocessors and do some coding to make the H-bridge automatically change polarity after specific time.
2. I want the ship to change polarity after , say striking a wall. Can I Use any kind of sensors like IR-LED for that or in more general way how do I make the MC decide when to change polarity.
3. Can I any how increase the speed without increasing the battery power and assuming that more battery power means increased battery weight, i don't want my ship to be very much heavy.
4. I'm thinking of using two motors with propeller. What do you think how many motor should I use.
The ship is not remote-controlled.Once started it has to it has to do everything on its own(going and returning). It has to compete with other ship made by other students so it has to pretty fast.
i am in high school and and if i win the race i might get A grade in my Extra-curriculars.
Please tell how can i make it more better.

here my blue-print..i know its silly but i think it conveys the idea pretty fairly.
