programmed robot without connected pc 1

[MakeItSo]

Hi friends,

I have a bit of an off-beat question here:
I want to program a little robot. I know there is software for that, like roboprogy or MS Robotics studio etc.

What I would like to achieve however is a robot that would run its program without any computer attached, i.e. with a true, burnt chip.

Can you give me tips how best to do this?
With what language? C? C++? LISP? etc...

I am relatively versed in VB + derivatives, have basic knowledge of C / C++ and enough background to be able to adapt to a new language relatively quickly, so that should not be the issue.

I once had some basic knowledge of hardware programming, but that is ages ago and I honestly forgot the most of it.

Do you perhaps know a good forum for such puzzles?

Thanky!
Andy

That looks good for a start.

Thanks a mil!
