Looking for a college major

I'm a senior in HS and looking for a major, but can't find exactly what I like, what 'floats my boat'.

My interests and what I'm looking for:
In FIRST, I'm the programming and electrical guy on my team, and thats what I'd like to do as a career. I like making something physical that I can program with a PC. I'm more interested in the programming then making the physical thing, so I'd settle for something like "Hey, program this robotic system we made". Ive been looking for majors and can't find anything like that.

I am going to do two years at my local community college then transfer to a state college probably for 2 or 3 years. Heres what Ive found so far:

One of them I would take engineering sciences at the community college, then transfer to NJIT (My top choice, pretty much) and major in mechanical engineering. After a year or two or something like that, I'd specialize (is that the word for it?) in robotics. The problem I have with that is I am more interested in the electrical/programming end then the mechanical end. I don't mind a mechanical class or two here and there but majoring in it would drive me crazy.

I can't remember any other options off the top of my head, but I did look at electrical engineering at Rowen and it still wasn't exactly what I was looking for.

Any suggestions?
