Personal Robot Building

OK, so last year in august i decided after seeing what FIRST was all about after my rookie year i would make a robot of my own, and it is coming along great i have 2 3/8" drill motors and the gearboxes converted to 1 speed transmissions(if that counts as a transmission) and just last night i ordered some skyway wheel hubs and some sprockets that have the hubs' hole pattern and i have a frame made, but i dont wanna just have a rinky dink robot that just drives around like a remote control car, i want one that will make people go "wow, you made that your self?!?!?!?!?!?!" but i dont know what to do for the upper mechanical portion i dont kno if i should have an arm or what i need your ideas!

it doesnt matter what it is because i can make it even if it takes a while, because the whole point of me doing this is to make something that is awesome and so i can learn alot more, though people say i kno way too much already so tell me what you would like to see on a student built bot
