Anyways, after we managed to open that baby up, we figured out that the buttons work by grounding: with a 3 V power sources, the button pins are usually at around 3V as well when they are not pressed. When they are pressed, they go down to around 4 mV. We hope that 4 mV is small enough in order for us to use GPIOs instead of ADC pins.
Additionally, we also finally got our computers to recognize our Polulu robot and we were thus able to program our first test program onto the bot with success.
Anyways, we should probably get back to work, so we'll leave ya'll faithful followers with a picture of our workbench and our materials.
Enjoy!
Since the Polulu can apparently synthesize tones to some extent, you might find the information here useful in programming the Pokemon theme:

I don't know how much music experience you guys have, but if you need help transposing this into something you can use, I would be more than happy to do that for you.
