these guys meet up regularly in my town (Brighton, UK). Might be worth talking to some of them via the forums: http://robotbrighton.ning.com/

fluffyemily on twitter runs the group so she might be of some help too.

Thanks Kev, basically I want to know how much it would take to build a basic robot. Nothing to complicated just a cute thing on wheels that could run around and not bump into stuff.

well one of the first robots that i saw one of these guys build does pretty much exactly that - so worth getting in touch - they know about where to get all the parts, pre-packaged kits and all kinds of stuff
