I think starting on top of the board is okay. In our robot, parts of the
robot overhang the board. I think the only thing I would draw the line at
is attaching stuff to the actual board (ie, 2xN pieces)

C's a good idea to learn, if anything, just to be able to read someone's
source and sort of understand it. I won't call myself a programmer, but I
can sort of read C and it's kinda useful.
You may consider learning how to program C with a good basic ANSI C primer.
I used "C How to Program" in undergrad, but there are a lot of different
ones-the Kernighan and Ritchie is the default classic one.
