Currently my subsystems that need to be tested are these.
- Servos (4 in 2 daisy chains)(arms)
- D/C motors (feet)
- Obstacle Detection (using ultrasonic sensor)(eyes)
- LED eyes (decorative part of the eyes)
Over time I will add and change the subsystems.
Every one of those products has a library and example code doesn't it? Try that first.
The library source code should tell you how it gets the hardware to work. If you want more, there's the datasheet for the electronics parts and tons of help online.
Really though, learn the simple lesson of many-things-at-once (and BlinkWithoutDelay) before forming your vision of the robot.
You might want to play around with parallel processing and bus systems while you're at it.
