I'm not entirely sure. This isn't how I'd do it; I'd put a robot controller and operator interface on there. That way, you can do a cool drive system like you would on the actual robot, and it would look way cooler. You don't need any radio communications at all; grab a tether cable, tether the two together, and fire away.

On a side note, please put a cutoff switch somewhere between the battery and motors that's easily accessible. A rampant "FIRSTmobile" could be a very scary thing...
