I've completed my $50 robot base and am just waiting to get the parts for the photoresistors and Sharp IR. I'm a bit disappointed though. I've been working on this since December and now that this phase is completed I feel kind of lost. So I guess my question is, where do I go from here? I'm not the most creative person, but I can put stuff together like nobody's business.

If I were you I would just challenge myself to just try something harder, that would still be somewhat practical and challenging, maybe a line following robot, or maybe robotic arm, not really sure where I'm going with this as I'm still a newbie to ;D

i have almost completed my $50 robot. I'm planning on making a humanoid next.

I've been thinking about making an arm. I'd really like to get the most out of my $50'r that I can. Is the extent that I can take this just adding various sensors? What have other folks done, or thought about doing, with theirs?

About 3/4 of all the robots I have made (http://www.societyofrobots.com/robots.shtml) could have been fully controlled by the $50 Robot controller. It is extremely flexible for whatever you want to do.
I'm currently using my $50 controller for this robot:

You would probably want to start with the sharp ir upgrade. Then modify it with an up/down moving servo so you get it to move up/down/left/right then try and build in some kind of mapping for a start

if you shop around there are 4 different codes that have already been made
photovore
line follower
