  I am currently completing a degree in CS at the local university here
and I would like to get started in the area of robotics.  What I'm
looking for is just something simple to start out with.  Perhaps a board
with a couple of motors on it that I can program from my pc.     

  I would appreciate any advice on a beginners kit.  Whether new or used,
it doesn't matter.  Eventually I'd like to move up to radio-controlled
robots w/ infrared and all that stuff. (I'm going to be taking some
basic robotic classes this coming year in school and I'd like a headstart.)

Thanks
