Hi im brand new to arduino and I have no programing experience and just want to get my going im looking for some code or a sketch I can download to get my bot working. It has 2 motors for steering and H-bridges out of an RC car. and a Sharp GP2D12 IR sensor mounted to a Hextronik HXT 900 9gr servo. Thanks

Skid steer?
You haven't given much to go on.
It's basically a hacked 4wheel drive stunt car. The kind with wheels that are taller then then the car so it doesn't matter if its upside down or not. So it is skid steer. I found the the four four wires that go to the two H-bridges. this seems like a very common set up except that its a car and i didn't build build it. I've seen a lot of bots like this that that use L298 or L293 motor drivers and gear motors. I must just be able to use somebody's similar code.
Well... it depends on what you want it to do... line follower? Locate a Light Source? Infra-red seeker?
Maybe some of those search terms will help you find a pre-existing project?
Since your new to the Arduino and programming you may want to start simple and run threw the example sketches that are in the IDE.
I just want it to drive around and try not to hit stuff. It has no other sensors so it cant be a line follower or light seeker yet. I am working through the samples in the oomlot kit and stuff. I want to learn to write my own code, I just want a sketch I can download and see my bot do something and show my Girlfriend what I am wasting all my time on. until I can write my own.
