newbie programming question

[robbybot]

hi chaps,
im brand new to robots but come from a background of rc in particular helicopters. i want to get a robot and like the robonova as it has a large support structure.
does it come with programs to run it?
how easy is it to make rc and what do i need eg. what type of controllers and were to buy?
also i have heard there is a programming language called GUI or something? does this come with robonova if not were can i get it and what is it?
cheers for your help as i am pretty confused?

not a full set of answers but:

1. it comes with a set of pre defined moves
2. you can string them together with "robobasic"
3. robobasic is the included app - it has a GUI - graphical user interface
4. you can also make up your own moves, with the app, by positioning the limbs, "catching" the pose - bit like a cross between frame by frame / keyframe animation
5. the RN1 isn't intelligent - it doens't make decisions for itself out of the box and probably never will
6. you can however, add sensors and some clever "if then" code to mimic intelligence

hope that helps
