Remote operated vehicle

Hi there. I just got my first robotics kit. It consists of the following:
1x Robot chassis
1x Arduino uno 3
1x Motor driver
1x IR receiver
2x DC Motors
1x Bread board
1x Speaker
1x assorted Wires
1x Battery holder(4x1.5V)
2x Leaf switchers
2x Wheels
1x Ir remote and sensor

I got some schematics on wiring the motor controller but cant find any sketches that works with it. The sketches I have are for running the dc motors directly off the arduino board with diode, potentiometer and resistor.

I want to build a robotic vehicle that i can remotely switch on. It would then travel straight until either on of its front mounted leaf switches(whiskers in either corner) are pressed. It would then reverse and travel forwards in an alternative direction(opposite to the switch that it engaged).alternatively I must be able to remotely turn the vehicle left or right(as it has only two wheels one would turn fwd and the other back)

Any advice on the way forward?

Thanks

You've got an IR receiver, you could use that for the remote switch part by using a TV remote.

Check out this link, it should be all you need.

I just finished that project, if you need any help just let me know
