So with the aim of making Bender - what the robot is called independent the following have been purchased:
A 3-axis gyroscope with 3 axis accelerometer like the one found here:

The aim of this is that Bender should be able to determine his position.
In addition to the above a Position Controller kit - basically an optical encoder with microprocessor attached that can be instructed to move so far etc and take the legwork out of thee computation for me.

Will post an update once I've had time to play and figure them out...hopefully no polar coordinates!
