its a simple design, but it'll impress people around here..
Well If you are looking for something simple like that... look at a local autoparts store (ask for a switch catalog) and I am sure they will have a switch that can be used for a robot. You probabally will not have f/r but that can be run to a seperate switch using a simple relay (I can tell you how to build one if you don't know how) I would also be nice to run the motors through a braker panel. I know a place that can sell you the 40 AMP's (I believe you will need 40's for WC Motors) or you can just get them from innovationFIRST and make a custom housing (I can also tell you how to do that if you need the help).

I have a lot of blueprints and images for just about everything you are thinking of doing. (I worked on a project of my own similer to what I believe you are trying to do and I have a lot of info and drawings on the subject)

If you need the help let me know...
