I change the version of the controller of my robot. You can find a video here:
I also add the code source on the webpage of the project with a photo gallery. I tried to give all the necessary documentation:

The rover with a mini wireless camera in front.
have you tried the Servo library?
have you tried the Servo library?
No, I did not try... In fact, I have to two types of servos, those (gws06) for the wheels with a continue rotation (360) and one (futaba 3003) for the turret with a limitation of (120). So I wanted to control them directly and learn how to do that.
Did you tried the servo library ? Do you know the difference with my code ? I think, it should be close because there is not so much code to control a servo.
yes i've used it and it's small and easy to use.
you can reduce your code at half or less with it.
for the different servos, there is no problem since you send directly the degrees to the servo.
for example: servo.write(45);
don't send more degrees than servo can support and that's all.
i have some code using the library on this thread: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1209207563/4#4
check setup and loop, the other functions are for analogic purposes
Well done! You might want to work a bit more on the mechanical side but as long as it does the job... I like your documentation on the website as well. So what's next? Your homepage says xbee (RF?) and bluetooth communication, why both? What are your plans with it? It'll be nice to control it through a web interface and get feedback from that wireless camera you have installed!

ps: your molecubes project reminds me of this post I read today http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2008/04/shapeshifting_robots.html

The mechanical need to be improved for sure, but it is much better than at the beginning... The difficult part was to fixe the wheels with the hubs on the servos.
For the communication, I want try xbee and bluetooth to learn how to use them (but this will depend of my budget). For sure, It could be nice to control the robot from the web with the camera but september the project will still like this.
Do you have any experience with bluetooth or xbee? Which one do you prefer?
