A popular community site for WowWee Robotics' products with user forums, videos, detailed articles, plus frequent participation and content contributions from WowWee. Coverage includes all the WowWee products including the Robosapien, RS Media, Roboreptile, Dragonfly and much more.
micromagic Systems
A great website and web-resource for information and inspiration on hexapod walking robots. The photos, videos, and robot designs are really interesting, and will immediately look somewhat familar. That's because you've seen many of Matt Denton's robotic creations in movies like the Harry Potter series. In addition to lots of information on the robot designs and hexapod kit, they also have what promises to be a very interesting forum for designers, builders, and others to learn, share, and swap robot information. 
The NXT STEP
An excellent LEGO Mindstorms blog written by Jim Kelly. Jim was selected as one of the lucky 100 NXT developers that get to provide their insight, expertise, and knowledge to the Mindstorms final testing, configuration, and roll-out. His NXT robot blog is almost exclusively dedicated to LEGO Mindstorms NXT information, news, and tips along with his own knowledgeable comments on the robotics system.
RobotShop Canada

Jason Bradbury
Jason is the host of the popular Gadget Show on television in the U.K. He loves building wild, crazy, and often amazingly useful gadgets and robots. His cell phone in a driving glove hack is a natural to be adapted into a robot remote control. His blog is chock full of interesting 'stuff' including a really neat hoverboard he built from spare and junk parts, hacks, and regular features like his on-site exploration of Korean technology and robots.
The Machine Grid
Very well designed robotics website published by Gerard, a EE graduate student. His site includes tutorials, detailed robot project information, circuit boards, articles, and even a very interesting "How to solder an accelerometer" walkthru.
