If you really want to see some obfuscated C code, there's actually a contest for it.
http://www.ioccc.org/ - The International Obfuscated C Code Contest.
Winning entries can be found at

If you want a language that is very easy to program in and makes sense, check out Ruby at
http://www.ruby-lang.org
For example, to run a command 3 times in C, you would do this:
for (int i=3; i<=0; i--) {
command();
}
In Ruby, it would look something like this:
3.times { command }
Ruby is also loosely-typed, meaning you don't have to worry about the size of the variable that's holding your data, the interpreter will determine that for you.
Note that you can't use Ruby on the robot, this is just for hobbyist programmers.
