	Could someone please tell me if it's possible to create a robot, 
that is very simple, and say just plug it into the back of your computer? 
and make it work? I have almost no experiance with robots, but i can 
program (sorta good), and i'd like to get into the field of building 
robots.. or maybe more so, controling them.. i've found the best way to 
learn something is to just jump into it.. so can anyone give me some tips 
as to how to get started? and i've gone to the library and found that 
most of what they carry is "This is a R.O.B.O.T." or "Robots can be your 
freind" type of books.. any ideas?

	Thanks a lot..
