Getting Started Guide
First install WinAVR by clicking on WinAVR-20071221-install.exe
Second install AvrStudio by clicking aStudio4b528.exe
Finally copy the code directory to your documents.
Open bot.aps in your new code directory
Edit either config.h or program1.c files.
To compile the code hit "Build"
To download the code first connect the bot to your computer using a serial cable (easily obtained from garage sales, radio shack, online at http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=65 .

Next turn on your robot.
While pressing the joystick down select AvrProg from the tools directory.  Find your hex file (its in the default directory where your code is!).  Then select "download". 
Turn your bot off and back on and hit the up arrow.

If you have any questions please ask me!  I will be available via email all the time.  Or at least avalaible via my blog.
