Resources!

I've acquired the following items:
HC11 processor board - Testing board for controls and electrons
PIC robots guide - PIC is a programmable microcontroller so it is possible to create firmware for onboard controls and operation. It will also control the onboard interface back to the main computer.
Digital Logic text - Academic guide to designing circuitry for specific functions.

I will be researching where to order a PIC chip. Supplies for a breadboard and wiring components are available either through the ECE department or at Radioshack.

I am currently researching common programming languages for robotics interaction. Potentially I will be creating a C++ CGI in order to have access to certain low-level programming functions.
