What does it do?

Drive around via Remote control and pick stuff up

Yeah... I just got a wireless transmitter and receiver, along with two servos. Being 14 years old, i will have to wait about two weeks before i can buy anything over 10 dollars. Anyway, i have a Wii Fit, wchich comes with a balance board in a nice cardboard case. So I carved the cardboard and built an ugly little chassis. Now, i plan to give it two arms so it can pick stuff up (obviously light stuff). However i cannot find a way to plug a DC motor into a receiver so it can go forward or backward (go-figure).
