Brookstone Rover Question

DJ, Can the speed of the brookstone rover be controlled by EZB? I have a fun project I'd like to build, but it being top heavy makes me wonder if its even possible, unless I can control the speed. Also anyone have a estimate on how long the batteries last on the rover? Thanks in advance Will
