The last two issues of Micro Cornucopia have had details on 
building a hobbiest-type robot, mostly designed to run mazes.

The project is designed such that all maze-running software is
in EPROM, so one robot can be used by several people with
competing software, just by changing the PROMs.

This neat project even has a solid state compass, which is used
to keep the robot correctly oriented.
