A robot that builds robots. bust out a reprap. They're kind of pricey as a project but useful to use afterward.

Sounds like an Arduino is the way to go. Pick up a barebones Ardunio kit, solder it up, and program away. You can make just about anything with it. Rip some stepper motors our of an old scanner, and make a robot from it...just about anything!
