If you have parallel or serial port in your PC you can easily make programmer yourself. Ponyprog is powerful and free  http://www.lancos.com/prog.html (http://www.lancos.com/prog.html)

With that programmer you can program virtually all AVR MCUs (except ATtiny 11 and 12 as I remember which are useless for hobbyist ), no matter how much your robot costs   ;D
