+(how to use this
+ (connect your robot to your computer via usb cable)
+ (open arduino ide)
+ (in arduino ide, open motor.ino)
+ (hit the upload button)
+ (your robot's wheels should start moving forward slowly)
+ (yaay!)
+ (you can reverse the direction a motor spins by plugging it into
+  the motor controller differently.  take the wires that come out of
+  the motor and swap where they plug into the motor controller)
+ (yaay!))
