uh, no offense but when you say things like "I'm not sure how to use resistors", I'd say you are just too far down the learning curve to have much hope of getting up to speed in a short period of time. This is the equivalent of some one saying - "I want to build a house, what is a nail for?"
there are lots of tutorials on the web. google and ye shall find. when you are little more familiar with the basic building blocks, then you will have more chance of success.
Old construction joke. new guy on the job is throwing away nails. foreman screams at him "what are you doing????", new guy says "they're pointing the wrong way". Foreman screams "Idiot, those are for the other side of the house".

oops i just searched how a resistor works
and i did understand how it worked
i just got confused over why one one one of my test experiments didnt work
i asumed that i didnt understand resistance but i was trying to do something a resister isnt made for
so now i have no problem with resitance
and the regulator i knew about i just never used it and when i saw the component i originally confused it for a transister ones on each of my drill motors heatsinked and ready for use
and i did understand how it worked

thank you
i was to busy before to realy start on the robot now i have the time so it should be coming along
as for the chip on the motors ive done some more searching and i think its a PWM converter transister (thats the best i can make from what it does)
the name is RFP50N06
if you want the specs its http://www.dannell.gb.com/site/rfp50n06.pdf
im also planing on making a website with it on it

i was thinking and i need help with what wheels to use on this robot
i was thinking of a bikes training wheel but that might not work because i think i got rid of all of them years ago
but im afraid the the motor would grind the wheel causing it to slip since my motor has a screw like end and its pretty strong
i would like to use the motors threads for a good attachment of the wheels but without grinding the wheel and causing it to slip
any ideas?
heres what the motor looks like incase you didnt see it in the begining of the post
