Answer 1

Check the CMU robotics lab website and check the links they have:

http://www.ri.cmu.edu/

Also, see books listed here at Amazon.com online, your local library, Borders books (they special order for free--you just pay for the book) and elsewhere:


123 Robotics Experiments for Evil Geniuses, using items found at home

The Robot Builder's Bonanza, Third edition

Robot Invasion: Convert your toys into robots

Futerlec is a good website to start with, for books and parts:

Also check out Combat Robot clubs in your area. I bet they have message boards where you can ask these questions and members will answer.
