Thanks for the shout out, Anthony!
To anyone looking to implement this system, I've open sourced absolutely everything you need here:
http://code.google.com/p/ipgamepad/
I'm currently working on a video documenting the whole system, but until then you should be able to get the gist of the setup from the Google Code page.
I just finished up a simple python app to implement the controls using a PC/USB joystick if you're without an Android device. This is now available on the Google Code page.
To build the control system, all you need is a wireless router, Arduino w/ Ethernet or Netduino, and your PC or Android device. Just connect your PWM speed controllers to digital pins 5/6 for tank drive. All of the data is there in the code if you want to tap into the X axis of either joysticks as well.
I'm always available via PM if you'd like any help implementing the system. I'm definitely looking for developers to help out in feature implementation so please let me know if you're interested!
