The code is really ugly at the moment.  I'll attach it to this post as soon as I figure out some place to stick it.   Some other pics:   update: ...

update: 5/9/2012

I've added a Ping ultrasonic sensor and a servo to the front of the beast.  I'm having a lot of interesting fun altering my code to make it go where I want it to based on the input from the sensor.  

update 5/10/2012:

Just a small update, I uploaded my code to github if anyone is interested in looking at my spagetti code.
