JTN could comment better about the difficulty of learning it (I'm a pretty terrible driver), but it's probably not as difficult as you think. You just have to put yourself "inside" the robot. The tough part comes when you change orientation (twist) in crab. You have to keep up with where the "front" of the robot is/was.

Like most robots, it's not hard to learn the basics, but it takes hours and hours of practice to get good. There's no time to stop and think behind he glass.
