Is Arduino programmed in C? I know already about RobotC

You can program Arduino in C/C++, but really you don't need to go that far as you'll typically use the IDE which simplifies things. Many Arduino programs wouldn't actually be recognized as a valid C program because of some of the simplifications and abstractions that are available through the IDE. Arduino programming is fairly straight forward to learn quickly for a vast majority of starting projects you'd want to do with it. I taught my 6 year old how to do basic programming in/for Arduino in just a few days and he has the attention span of a nat - so that should give you some indication of it's accessibility.

This is cool. I want to build my own spider but it's very hard.

Not really if you have experience and the right materials. Try practicing basic soldering of wires and using an Arduino with a solder-less breadboard.

How do the lights blink and change color at the same time?

He uploaded the same code on each spider and turned them on at the same time.

  Hi Neil,
  
  The project used an Arduino Nano. See https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardNano
  
  There are alternatives such the Arduino Pro Mini. See https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardProMini
  
  In general the Arduino devices are interchangeable. This robot project does not appear to use any functions that would be specific to the Nano.
  
  Regards,
  
  APD

Are there different codes you can use to make the spider do something other then spin?

  If you know how to code you can program it to do anything. I hope to learn how to teach mine how to make a sandwich someday.
