Hi!
OK, I did some arduino programing and it is relatively easy, not
different to low C programing.
Arduino is a microprocessor board which you can robots build with.
Actually robotics programing is not so difficult for blind people; to
build the robot can be more challenging. I have not tried lego
mindstorm, but I would guess that it helps a lot to do the building task.
There is a project called BrickPi which is a piece of hardware to use a
raspberry pi as a lego brick. I mention that because some people migh
feel better writing code in a open platform as a Pi.

Also there is a language called quorum. It can be used to write code
for the original lego brick, and quorum is designed to be an accessible
tool.

Summarizing; the programing for robotics should not be a impossible task
for blind people, building the robot in its self can be another stuff,
however, to try building might be quite fun.

I'm about to try the Lego Mindstorms EV3 set. I'll have a sighted
assistant construct the first robott and then see where I can go from
there.
