Re: what colleges have good robotics majors

Carnige Mellon I am very sure does not allow undergraduates into the robotics labs.

Oh also...

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.
WPI has a biomedical engineering major and WPI offers a full ride FIRST scholarship. You may want to seriously consider WPI: just about everything good there is to be had here the undergrads get their hands on. Many other "big name" schools are "big name" because of the things the graduate students do, not the undergrads. Be careful to distinguish the difference.

My friend Nick is in BME at WPI and has offered to be interrogated by prefrosh if you feel like asking him some questions. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...31&postcount=2
