After you install the Zumo library you'll find a lot of helpful example code at File > Examples > Zumo32U4. I don't think anyone here is going to do much better than that. The way to approach programming is to start very simple and gradually work your way to more complex programs. Don't move on to the next program until you fully understand the current one. If you try to jump right into a complex battlebot program as a beginner then of course you're going to feel like you're bad at programming. But it's not that you're bad at it, it's just that you skipped over some of the fundamentals.
The problem is I have a deadline and not enough time to fully engage with the topic 
Thanks
