A few options.

Is there a systems engineering option? That can combine both of those two majors' interests -- and it's a good background for robotics.

Are you going to go to grad school? If you do, I'd take the minor, then figure out in grad school which one you really want to do.

Are you going straight into industry? It can't hurt to double-major, but regardless of what it says on your degree, what's going to matter is which skills you can reliably demonstrate. The name of your degree just gets your foot in the door. What do you *want* to do in industry? Make sure you have a good background in that. If you have something in mind that would definitely combine MechE and CS, go for the double major. If you just want the CS backround to inform your mechanical design, go for the minor. Well-roundedness can never hurt.

Also, I would like to contest the "robotics companies only want software people." I know lots of companies in my area looking for electrical and mechanical engineers both, and offering many cool opportunities for them. In short, find something you really like that will keep you excited. Go with it. The rest will work itself out.
