robot controlled by a touch panel

Is it possible to create a program that will make a four wheel drive robot search out ir transmitters pause at each transmitter and head out to the next transmitter using a basic stamp 2? if so can you show me an example program in pbasic, please?

I saw it done with the propeller but just wondered how would i do this with the basic stamp 2 and the programming. I have the transmitters already and the robot is already build, i guess all i really need is a sample program just to make sure i'm doing it right.

final objective, is to build a robot that will always start at the base (starting position), then go to other destinations (after being told where to go via programing), and return back to the base station awaiting further orders.

I would like the robot to have like a touch panel with like 4 icons, indicative of 4 destinations, that once pushed the robot will go to that destination and·wait about 3 minutes or unless·a button on the touch panel is pushed, and go back to the base station.

Thanks to all of you who help!

    that more than some an example.... your talking about some serious code, I'd start out with being able to identify the IR transmitters, then put the IR receiver on a servo etc.. take it a step at a time. it sould like you've seen this post but here is a link just in case.
