You're off to a good start. Try kitbot for a decent running robot. Also, read the manual. The whole thing. AT LEAST once, probably closer to ten times or more. At this point, focus on those, then later (once you have a working drive) figure out how you can improve your scoring (shooter, collector, pusher) and get working on that.
