ACKERMANN PROGRAMMING

We've decided to prototype an Ackermann steering setup using a fisher price motor.

This would be our first year trying this method, and actually I think it will work quite well with the exception of actually programming the thing.

Any suggestions?

I was thinking of modifying a standard..high end RC car controller for use as the controller.. however, we don't have very much programming experience on our team and the more I think about it, the more I feel like the programming is going to be our biggest hurdle with this type of steering.
