Arduino and Ping))): Obstacle Sensing Robot

This is my current *semi* complete project. It's a obstacle avoiding "rover". The brains of the system is an Arduino Uno. The robot is an old RC robot I found lying around. The motors are wired up to the Adafruit Motor Shield. The sensor is a Parallax Ping)) sensor. Source code might be provided soon along with semi detailed sketches showing how it works.

I'm making something similar (or the exact same thing) and I need some help with it. I programmed my Arduino Uno to turn a servo when something gets 7 in. close the Ping))) and turn back when the thing goes away. The servo turns back and forth even when I disconnect the servo. Here's my code.
