How is it controlled? Is there just a random program in there telling it to drive the motors different directions for different amounts of time or is there some sort of remote of what?

Also, does the RCX offer speed control over motors?

The video is a random program. There is a LEGO remote, but it's rather hard to control all three motors at the same time, especially while holding a camera. Now that I have two RCX's, maybe I'll make a more intuitive control.

I am hoping to add some sort of sensors, but how/where/what I'm not sure of yet. (Obviously not to clear on that... )

Yes, it does. The video doesn't show that though.
