Have you searched anything on the web? That's where I got alot of my basic MCU info. If you wanted to make one that you'll use over and over, I would recommend following the basic design of the $50 robot board. Don't try anything too complicated and make sure when you build one, it's organized (I've made that mistake a few times).

Also, there are many programming kits and such all over the internet at robot/electronics stores. You will also need to figure out which microcontroller you would want to use and programming environment.

Hope this helps,

If you read everything on the main site you would know what a microcontroller is.
Robots are awesome!

If your ok with AVR (little initial outlay) then just build the $50 robot tutorial.
The 'brain' (for want of a better word) is an AUGMENTED MCU. You'll be able to re-use this board over and over.
The question that drives me hazy:

Am I, or the others crazy?
