Google "nbot" to see info on a fun little 2 wheeled balancing robot. Especially if you are strong on programming, but weak on mechanical building, this mechanically simple robot could be a good project. I have wanted to build one for years but never had the time.

This site is for CCS C coding and not really a forum for robotics.

However, one of the largest robotics sites in the country can be found at:
http://www.seattlerobotics.org/

They even have a Getting Started section on their web page that should answer a lot of your questions.

Help do what? The topic is pretty thorough, including all the code, what else
do you need?

We don't do robot builds on this site. I recommend going to a
robotics site for that kind of help (like the one I pointed youi to earlier).

After you get the robot built we can help with CCS programming/coding
issues...

BTW, if you are going to refer to a topic it is helpful to provide the link, like this:
