I'm not sure how a faraday cage will affect a motors efficiency - that's a new one for me. Can you help me understand?

Indeed it is. It is ambitious, but absolutely possible, and by that I mean some motivated high school students could get it done.
Here's the challenge: You are being given a very, very generous offer of assistance in making this a reality. I don't want to mislead you: This is not a project for this build season. But do it, and that'll look absolutely stunning on your college application, in the newspaper, etc. Not to mention on Einstein.
That being said, often we look to nature to solve problems. How would nature solve this one? That is, how would YOU (a human) detect a robot? I would do it visually...but what if you were blind? Think on that for a while, maybe some solutions will come to mind...
