Re: Robotics beyond High School

Look into IEEE robotics competition. It is much for software based, but still robotics. There is the mars rover challenge as well, don't know the actual name of it.

I am currently on an autonomous land navigation robotics team. I forget the name though. A lot of higher level robotics is more software oriented to my understanding than design focused. There is design, but it really comes down to who has the better software.

Another alternative is to look into going into robotics research. I am working on a topology based path finding program that I will hopefully publish, as well as implementing neural networks to have a small omni bot navigate and map out an unknown system of hallways.
