Re: what colleges have good robotics majors

Everyone, I'm no expert, but it seems as if people are thinking of a robots major as a combonation mechanical/computer AI/electrical degree. Wouldn't most engineers specialize in one area and other members of the team would specialize in other areas? That was what the way the DARPA Red Team(the one with the hummer that went the farthest in the first challege, and came in second and fourth the next year), was organized. So, it seems that one could just get a good degree in any one area, with an approprite specialization, such as AI for computer science, and pick up the rest with graduate programs.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
