The Best Way To Learn Java ...With Robots

Robocode is an integrated IRDE (Integrated Robot Development Environment) :-) initially created by IBM. It is easy to install and use. You can develop, compile and deploy your robot without leaving the IRDE. You will have to extend from a Robot class, react to (scan-, hit-) events etc. and learn Java with lots of fun.

If you already know Java - don't use it - it's addictive.



*NEW* Workshop: "Real World Java EE 6/7 Bootstrap" and book: Real World Java EE Night Hacks--Dissecting the Business Tier

It's good suggestion indeed!
But for me personally it would be much more interesting to find framework that allow to handle data generated from combination of accelerometer and gyroscope. This stuff really has great potential.
I would recommend you read the following document:

Let me know if it looks interesting :)
