Boe Bot instructions

Read a review of the Boe Bot, which gave me the impression assembly is not going to be easy for someone without ability to read schematic diagrams.
I have no knowledge of electronics, but want to learn about robotics and programming same as a hobby activity.
Have researched robot kits available and think the Boe Bot would suit my needs. But am unsure if instructions use schematics to explain connections etc.
Can anyone advise how difficult assembling a Boe Bot would be?

It's the world's most popular programmable robot and kids as young as 12 build them quite frequently. Schematics are not a problem - the manual includes pictorials. Download it and take a look:

I am certain you will be pleased with the kit. The documentation, projects and follow-up activities are very well-developed.

There are a couple of Canadian online stores offering the Boe Bot kit. One is only 40 miles away, if they are still operational. Have tried to contact both, but haven't any replies.
This kit seems to be what I need, something easy to get into this interesting area. I like the stamp due to the abundance of information available on the net. Also, the programming language looks easy.
Again thanks for the help.
