Controlling belts

I set out to make an aggresive little tank and I got this far. It runs like a dream when I put a battery directly on the motors... in a straigt line. Any ideas on how to control it, so it can turn on a plate. All wireless.

Everything was made from old bits and pieces. I havent spend any money yet.

What does it do?

Terrorize other robots

By now I've built a few different robots, and they've had it pretty good so far. They get to spend their entire life going about their business, drumming on things or chasing light, with nobody to bother them. I think it's time that changed. They need to learn what it's like in the real world.

To that end, I've started building what I'm tentatively calling the BullyBot. It's going to be a tank-tread-based robot with an AirSoft machine gun mounted on top, and it will find the other robots in the room and shoot at them. It builds character.
