From there it's writing a program that will send out data from the PC/Control system and then something on the Arduino end to interpret that data and send out signals to the motors.
That is correct, my personal suggestion if you are stuck on using the arduino would be to use http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/pro...oducts_id=9367 and connect via wifi. There will be a LOT of programming to do here.

As a warning, do NOT buy just the module thinking you can solder it yourself. They are .1" spaced solder pads and are a real pain to solder to.

If you don't want to program I would see if you could borrow one of the old IFI systems from your team or buy a Vex kit. Personally, I would buy a Vex kit. (Of course, I am LOOKING for an excuse to buy one so I can try to convince KU to put together a team)
