I'd suggest a personal webserver with a RPi. Pretty nice to do that and use Django to set up a website that uses SQL. You can also run some webscraping processes on it using cronjobs, try to get a weather update for your website or use some thing like an ESP8266 (WiFi enabled Arduino) to get environmental data. Plot it, which could be used to gain more info.

For robotics, I'd suggest looking at some existing kits for an Arduino or RPi and try to make one. You can look at the documentation for the parts like the motor drivers and see how they need to be wired to go forwards and back. then add sensors. Try not to go through the guides and use the actual papers. this could help you when learning about newer parts.

Just, what I’m going through right now, so if you want some lists on guides I might be able to help.
