The actual source code used to run DoodleBorg from a PS3 controller can be found here: http://piborg.org/doodleborg/ps3-source
which uses the PicoBorg Reverse library along with pygame in Python.
The source for the PicoBorg Reverse library is available here: http://piborg.org/picoborgrev/install
under the Software heading, the install script for the package also installs:
i2c-tools Used to aid in checking I2C device connectivity
python-smbus Used to talk with the I2C drivers from Python
pygame Used as a simpler method to access the joystick drivers from Python
as well as enabling the I2C drivers for the Raspberry Pi if needed
We have used the standard Raspbian distribution as the operating system.

Software on the Pi
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what software you put on the actual pi itself on the doodleborg tank, looking to build something similar.

We followed the Raspians guide to setting up the PS3 controller with a USB bluetooth module:

Everything else was already setup by Raspbian itself ^_^
