Re: Starting programming...

Given a problem to apply your programming to, try out different tools -- video tutorials, written tutorials, examples, reference books, etc.

If math isn't your thing, obviously there are other good ways to learn how to program, but coming to grips with what is commonly referred to as scientific programming, or numerical programming is, I think, similar to much of what you'll see on the robot. Of course the robot will introduce you to many other concepts as well, but if you are good at the numerical stuff, I think you'll find the rest easy to pick up.

This sounds like a great site. Thanks a lot! It seems like a lot of the programming on the robot is numerical-related, I can see that could help me a lot.

I don't understand what you mean by that.
