  I suggest strongly if this is your first experience
with microcontrollers and you want to build a robot
the first time than you just have to slow down your
efforts. To build a robot is not difficult but the
amount of prerequisite knowledge is quite heavy. You
need to first build small projects  before adding them
into your robot. 

  Things that you need would be stepper motor,lcd
interfacing,rs232, sensor modules. Each of them are of
main components to your robot.

  I own this book and it is worth it. One of the this
reason I  started with MCU was b'cos of robots but
somehow I did not build one at the end. Mindstorm
owner.... Anyway it is VERY important that you read
more into basic electronics to read and analyse
circuits for your bot.

PS: print the PIC datasheet and read it through.
microchip has tutorials in wiring up the PIC. Read the
application notes.
