Well you could spend <$100 for something basic.  Or you could spend tens of thousands of dollars to make something like the iRobot Warrior.

In other words, you need to be far more specific.

Still not specific enough!
Size and Weight of Bot? These will have a large impact on cost of motors and batteries.

The $50 Bot could be made remote with the addition of an IR remote receiver and some code changes in the processor. This could work with any old TV remote so for about $5 in parts you have a remote controlled Bot.
