Main question:
Im interested in getting into programing and starting of with the bot bot kit but was wondering about the difficulty of learning the code. How hard is it for some one just starting and is it easy to leaarn to modify the code? Im willing to put the effort in but im scared that the coding will be to hard to learn.
Secondary questions:
Also how hard would the programing be to make a boe bot a micromouse that can figure out the quickest way through a maze?
How about programing to use Parralax's joystick to control a boe bots movement?
Just an interesting idea: A Boe bot that chases heat or fire.
Any thoughts on this matter is greatly Appreciated.

Regarding your secondary questions ...
It might be easier to use an IR remote control and its arrow buttons to control the BoeBot. There's already lots of sample code for using an IR remote control with a BoeBot in a tutorial called "IR Remote for the BoeBot robot" (same link).
Start with having the BoeBot follow a flashlight since it already comes with light sensors. Later you can add or substitute an IR temperature sensor.
Thank you for your help.
