First off let me apologize for requesting help on another internet controlled "robot". The reason I writing this request for help is the idea i have i can not find existing write-ups to go by. Please keep in mind, building things is not an issue, my issue is programming!!!!! I am completely clueless. I have tried doing the tutorials but im to adhd to sit still long enough to do the coding. Anyway here is what I'm looking to build and what i have to work with.
What I have:
Arduino Mega
Ethernet Shield
Wireless N Bridge
Dimension Engineering Motor controller
IP wire/wireless camera
the motors I am wanting to use are not servos, permanent magnet motors are my choice.
The idea is simple to start off. I want to control a movable platform ( skid steer style) on my network ( for now, i would like to be able to control it from a friends or family network later if possible) using an existing desktop/laptop with a Xbox 360 controller. Also be able to see POV using the IP camera on the platform as well.
My request: what is the simplest way to get this running with existing software and code. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

The links are dead on that post. Thanks though.
The links to my pictures are dead, but the info and posted code should still be there. I have provided a picture of the test bot setup, and below is a picture of the web control page.
So does your code allow me to use the Dimension engineering motor controller to drive the Permant magnet motors? also will this setup allow me to use the IP camera and Xbox 360 controller
You should be able to use with the dimension controller, but it may depend on which version you get. An IP camera should work with the router as it normally would. I can't speak to the xbox controller as I don't know what it would do.
