Does anyone know where I can get help/mentor to help me get started on the programming portion of a robot? thanks

1. .bin, to the best of my knowledge, are used by other apps for information storage. They aren't opened independently. When you dl an emu or ROM, more often than not they come with .cue files that dictate burning locations should you decide to store it on an external drive (Fable:TLC torrents...

)
2. Get started in your local team. If you've taken a language class before, you're well ahead in the game. Just remember that some languages react diferrently than others. If your team's been around, they may have some spare stamps for you to fool around with and learn the basics of syntax and . Ex: Our team has some old PBASIC stamps that we use for fundraiser robots. I used BOE-Bots before, so I'm the official PBASIC programmer for the team, however useless my job is. Modding a VEXbot from FVC for use with MPLAB is a good way to start, if your team has the cash, as the FRCbots use the very same language, C. You can always salvage parts from old bots for use in a minibot that gives practice in auto mode.
And we all know that eC isn't 1337
