Edit: attached the source code below
got most of the bugs worked out. The motor driver is a dual 1 amp driver from Sparkfun, and i wired it up in parallel to provide up to 2 amps. It still doesnt have as much power as I'd like, but eventually someday I'll give some better battteries and swap out the motor and driver for a good brushless with an esc.
here is a video of it in action:
