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...

Or....You can just have the robot controller on it if your going to go there route. I think all you need to do is set the team # to 0 or something like that. I have used the RC alone before, I just don't remember how I did it. I would say your better of spending 10$ on perfboard and a small microprocessor then just have somebody write code for you.
If you give more info on the project it would be easier to help. For example I can tell you to make an Hbridge, but I don't know if that would fit the project.
Or you can go to somewhere like pololu.com and buy there servo controller and buy a basic stamp and just use the serout command to send serial data to it. If you have the money for that i would say that would work just fine.
