Suggested Kit To Start With

Hey,
I want to start out in the world of robotics, but not sure where to begin. I’m 23 and not exactly the slowest in the mental department, but equally I’m fully aware that it’s a gradual process like anything else and I have to crawl before I may run.
What I’m looking for is something I can start out with and build for the purpose of learning from the ground up. Since I have a view to continued progression and to keep learning, would also be happy to hear ideas for what to follow up with after this one.
I noticed there has been some threads of this type in the past (as there obviously would be) but also saw that they may be rather outdated suggestions considering how fast things move along.
Looking forward to hearing back, eager to let the fun begin.

Thanks

Robot Construction Kits are the way to go. We would suggest Robotis, VEX or Inex to start. LEGO Mindstorms is also very interesting, especially if you are nervous about getting started in programming.
