SparkFun has a lot of useful products, especially sensors. They also have a lot of good tutorials. They have just started up a video series on concepts in robots. A few minutes each, they do a good job of explaining basic concepts. The first video is a bit of a promo of their series and new products, but later videos concentrate on the concepts more. I recommend that you go to the intro video, and subscribe.
