The Default Code is on the Robot Controller page of the IFI Robotics website. It's labeled 2007 Default Code, near the bottom of the page.

As for getting started in programming...it depends how much you know. If you've never programmed before, I hate to say it, but you won't be able to just start programming the robot immediately. Just like learning an actual language, you have to learn a fair bit, before you can start speaking and writing, and even then you won't be able to do much.

If you know the basics of programming logic, but not C, you can probably be able to use C enough with a day or two of reading, and some reference material of syntax and such. If you already know C, it's just a matter of learning how the FIRST RC system works, which wouldn't take more than a few hours of reading. I don't know if there are any documents that explain the basics of the system, in laymen's terms, but I could probably write one in an hour or so. Unless anyone else knows of one?
