I have a 8052 based microcontroller. I would like to make a robot
that can run around the house, and when it hits a wall it moves
back turns around and starts to run again. I can easily change to
8052 into a 8052AHBASIC. I would like to write a program for the
robot in assembly or BASIC. Below is a list of the things I would
need the robot to do. I will be using DC motors.

I would really appreciate if someone helped me write a program
that can do the things I want to do below.

 List starts here 

When first turned on go forward.

If a switch is pushed move back then turn 90 degrees to the left
or right then go forward.

 List ends here 

With the program I would also need to know the wirings from the
microcontroller to the DC motors and the switches (the switches
should tell the microcontroller that a wall was hit)

Thanks.
