What are the best books and/or places to get started with robotics?

I will be taking courses at school soon, but I want to start teaching
myself in the meantime.

Where do I start?

I'd suggest Google.

I would start by learning to read the diagram on your washing machine. No
kidding. You will see the fundamentals of sensors and controls, programming
logic and a whole lot more. Then I would buy some cheap relays from a
surplus house such as All Electronics, etc. and learn ladder logic which
will lead you right into basic programming thinking.

Let us know how you make out!

Seems you've already *started* by posting this.

Next question!

Seriously, the public library is the place to continute your budding
education. It's free, just like Google, and the information tends to be
more authoritative.

Okay, bear with me in my postings.
Let me know if I'm getting ahead of myself.
My next question would be when programming robots, what language is
used and onto which part of the robot?
How is it installed into the robot?
