I want to use a wireless play station 2 controller for controlling the robot. I want to know what frequency or protocol is used between the ps2 controller and it's receiver. I tried to search the web but with no luck.

Ugh. I wrote the below before realizing you're after the wireless setup. Perhaps the receiver has the same pinout as the wired version?
------
I have not done this myself. But Webbotlib has had support [for the wired version] for years now. This page has a diagram of the pinout, example code if you're using Webbotlib:
http://webbot.org.uk/WebbotLibDocs2/46240.html
Worst case, you can download Webbotlib and somewhere find the PS2 code it uses... but I suspect that code will be hard to understand because of the abstractions that make Webbotlib works so magically.

I am in the same scenario as roboninja93 in wanting to use a wireless PS2 controller. My experience eventually led me to just stick with a wired controller which has worked out fine...but I would still like to go wireless.
With that said, I think that I remember reading somewhere that there is a clock speed issue or something like that. Lynxmotion has a wireless PS2 Robot Controller Kit that now comes with a piece of hardware that supposedly deals with this issue. Previous versions did not come with the level shifter. I will look more into it as I get to that part of my robot build.
