Is it super hard to make a robot?

It all depends on how much motivation you have. If you are motivated enough to create an advanced piece of technology, it should be easier to put together a robot. If you don't believe you can do it, then you can't. So the question isn't how hard it is to make a robot, its how motivated you are to accomplish a goal.

I'm on an iPad and do see a parts list only a blank page.

you should use a computer or laptop because it is faster and more powerful. Computers tend to work better with google

Is there a good way to improve the battery life

There is a few tricks, but they are extremely difficult and provide only a little more battery life. If it was easy then battery producers would already be doing it.

  I would suggest going to Fry's Electronics. They have a lot of small machine parts. The kits in the videos were probably pre-assembled, with separate parts put into a container. I'm not sure you can actually buy the kits.

Would you be willing to provide this parts list as a spreadsheet file so we can use it to calculate our own costs for the number of bots we want to build? That would be awesome!
