Next Step

I will have to switch polarity in order to change motor direction in addition to cutting all power to the motor.  I found this website that seems to explain it pretty well.  Multiple relays should do the trick.  Leaving them both connected to ground will stop the motor completely while having one connected to power and the other to ground will allow for control of the motor direction.  This website goes more in depth and suggests pull-up resistors.  I also have to remember a flyback diode for each side.
