Udo, I have glanced at a few things in there but am not sure what I can use or how to use it, I did find this however, http://home.online.no/~togalaas/ardubot/ would I be able to use this code to control the motors and then adapt the Wii code to use the wireless adapter for the xbox controller?
Far-Seeker, that's an awesome idea!!!! as for the software playground... what would I use out of there? There is so much information and so many different programs to use.
Its funny how an idea can seem so easy until you start actually doing it... I think I may have gotten way over my head...
