Newbie with Autonomous Rover

Hi. I am just barely beginning to learn about robotics. I have never built or programmed a robot and I have very little experience with programming. I am very interested in Robotics and Computer Science as a major in college so I decided I would get started with a robot.

I just ordered the A4WD1 combopack for autonomous behavior. I think I may be biting off more than I can chew, so I need some help.

  1. Is there any sample/practice/test code for my newly born robot that I can practice and learn with?
    I will be using Sabertooth 2X10 R/C Regenerative Dual Channel Motor Controller, Bot Board II, and BASIC Atom Pro 28 Pin.

  2. Will I be able to remotely control the rover from my laptop just by pressing buttons? (rather than writing code and having the robot execute functions)

Any helpful information will be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Under the Autonomous Combo Kit section, after the assembly guides there is a tutorial that includes code. :smiley:
