remote control of dc motors

Hi, trying to build a telepresence robot. arduino controlling dc motors using 2 megamoto motor shields. would like to start the project by controlling these over the web or wifi - from a laptop. any ideas? level of expertise- basic arduino, basic c language; high school robotics. any suggestions greatly appreciated -?ethernet shield?

I’m a beginner as well, but I think you will need to start with:

arduino

ethernet shield or wifi

2 dc motors

and a motor shield

probably some type of battery connector to power arduino
