This is definitely one of those games that takes a play or two to get the hang of, but that's partly why it's so much fun! The best part of this game is that you have to plan ("program") your next 5 turns and then hope for the best. Got confused on your perspective and went left instead of right? Whoops! Another player's robot hit your's one space to the left and now your robot is on a course of it's own at the will/whim of the game board? Good luck! Seriously a fun game!
