Howdy,

I'm using the Mini Robominds robot controller on a couple of robots:

including the jBot robot.  There are some notes about it here:

<http://www.geology.smu.edu/~dpa-www/robo/jbot>

As Randy mentioned, AVRs are also very popular in our club along
with NMIs 'pods.  Larry Barello of the Seattle Robotics Society
has done a lot of AVR work, check out his "AVR and Robotics"
homepage at:

<http://www.barello.net/>

Also a very interesting thread on the difficulties of using
a PC platform for robotics by Robert Scheer over on the SRSList,

best luck with your project!
