LOL, in the end, Daniel gets flamed! Welcome guys, when I started out building robots, I found the other builder's progress reports very helpful, they often have good photos and tips. You will usually get a good response to posting questions in build reports if they are on-topic.
You can also visit the main US combat robot forum:

Hardly any photos, but plenty of good info and chatter.
The main thing to start off helping you is knowing a bit about your skills and budget and resources. You don't really need to have a lot of mechanical skills but it helps us pitch answers at the right level. If we know what tools you have access to and what sort of money you want to spend, that helps us come up with a good answer to your questions too.
Finally, it always helps to ask specific questions rather than generalities; "How do I put a wheel on the end of a drill motor?" will get you way more quality replies than simply "How do I build a robot?"
EDIT: visit this site:

for a great collection of robot combat videos. In Australia, we mostly go for the Featherweight class, but the bigger sizes sure are entertaining!
