In step 2

First you must modify your servos so that they can rotate continuously. The factory default will only allow the servo to rotate 180 degrees.

You build the $50 robot board. It has a programming header. You buy (or possibly build) a "programmer" that connects the $50 robot board to your PC via USB, serial port, or parallel port.

Or perhaps you mean 'how does my robot talk and listen to my computer once its all programmed"? In which case you use the UART - which is sort of like a modem. You then have lots of choices:-
1. Use a level shifter board + a cable to plug it into an RS232 port on your PC; or
2. Use a TTL to USB board + a cable to plug it into a USB port on your PC; or
3. Use a wireless transmitter of some kind (bluetooth etc) + NO cable to talk to your PC

Of course all those options just give you a 'pipe' between the two. You will then have to program the robot as to what info to send to the PC and how to react based on info received back from the PC.
