Re: what colleges have good robotics majors

I personally am not necessarily interested in robotics as a whole--but moreso the biomedical applications of it. Notice how the recent FIRST games resemble something that Dean Kamen and the rest of the BME community are working on. Actually FIRST sold me not on robotics, but on Biomedical Engineering. There are plenty of schools with it, but Johns Hopkins University and Duke University are two of the best in that field. (Too bad they don't offer FIRST scholarships.)

But if you are looking for straight-out robotics in the MD-VA area, Maryland-College Park, Maryland-Baltimore County, and Virginia Tech are all good choices. VT and UMBC have even participated in the DARPA challenge.
