Robot Building Questions

Please Help

As a first robot project I plan to make a voice-controlled robot that goes to a given colored ball (among many) on command. I like the idea of the multi-function EZ-B single-board controller and the off-board intelligence provided by a Bluetooth-linked PC. That certainly makes voice recognition a lot less expensive!
