Newbee Po Bot Help

[tave]

Just starting out with programming with propeller chips. I would like
to purchase motors to make a bot. I recently purchased Propeller
Platform USB from this site. I want to create a bot using a ping
module that I have plus the motors that are required to maneuver the
unit and to move the ping module to determine distance. Can you tell
me what I need, other that the ping module and the propeller module,
what motors do I need, and do I need a module to control the motors?

two continuous rotation servos will work very well, and there's example code at parallax for running them.
pick up two of those and 2 wheels and you've got a robot

Could I use the same servos for the Ping module as well, or should I use a different servo?

[adafruit]

we'd suggest a micro servo, much smaller and less expensive but works the same way and definitely works with the propeller.

Servo control is pretty straightforward on the hardware side. There are several objects for servo control in Parallax's Object Exchange, too. I did a tutorial for controlling a servo by reading a PING sensor (with video) here, you might find it handy.
