Another Robot From Roomba Parts, code anyone?

I'm building another robot with two Roomba motors on it for this weeks hack on Hack A Week. I'm searching for some code to use on the MSR1 board that will power it up. Here's a pic of what I've got built so far.. http://twitpic.com/5jbzbl
It has two motors and a PING sensor. I just want a simple code routine for now. This will be my Prop development robot for future projects and in another month or so, I'll add the Laser Range Finder to the mix. Any links to some code would be a big help. I'm a nubie with the Prop and Spin.
Thanks... Dino

    I see you have found the top secret code that you wanted. who did you torture? who cracked?...:cool:

    I allmost gave up on the roomba, it looked too customized to hack into anything "usefull".
    Now I will take another look, What a great hack, Thanks.

    P.S. did putting the Ping on a mast help with sensing stuff, or did you just want it to look cool? :)

    So nice that Dino isn't necessarily biased towards Ar-Dino. Nice job!
