I agree, you need to know how to program and get used to making the robot move around and do basic maneuvers first. But as far as detecting you could use many things depending on what the other robot is made of. You could use a infrared sensor but that would also see the walls if it got too close (I don't know if that maters for you or not)or an inductance sensor if the other robot is made of metal or has a fair amount of metal around it (the QT113 sensor if a cheap and effective way for touch or inductance sensing) Else you could use touch, ultrasonic, or some other ways to find it.

Given your knowledge (or lack thereof) you're better off buying a robot kit and experiment with it in order to get an idea of ROBOT.
Only after that you may start thinking about "detecting a robot".
