Different programs? No. Functions? Yes. You not only can, you should.

#3

yes functions was what i mean, so maybe u can show some examples or something like that, cause those one that I found in arduino site isnt very good :)

#4 
void TurnLeft () {
   // code that turns the bot left
}

void TurnRight () {
   // code that turns the bot right
}
void MoveBack () {
   // code that moves the bot backwards
}

void loop () {

   TurnLeft();
   MoveBack();
   TurnRight();
}

I suggest you find a "Programming in C" book or online reference and have a good read.

Also check out examples of other people's code.
