It comes with instructions on how to build the "Squarebot", which is a really simple design, but it incorporates almost all of the kit features in some way.

You can go to this link and get a great idea of the step by step building process. It covers everything from batteries to the control system. Read it and then when you but it you will be ready to fly.

First of all, welcome to Chief Delphi. Second, the forums here are a very efficient way to get some good information really quickly, and I think more people would stumble upon this thread if it had a more descriptive title than just "Help"

Anyhow, you "ain't" have to be good at it, that's what the kit is for - to help you develop your skills to become good at it. If you can operate a screwdriver and a pair of pliers, I don't think you should have too much trouble putting together a fun little robot. The great thing about it is that you are supposed to use your own creativity instead of relying on instructions.
