I'm super interested in robotics and have made many already (an avoidance robot, a following robot, an arm, and a sentry gun bot). I'm going to college soon and was wondering what major (and minor) would be best if I wanted to go into robotics.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 2 21:48:35 2010 No.1321864 Unfortunately, engineering major. Mechanical engineering or Mechatronics engineering will be your best bet. Minor doesn't matter for engineerfags. But take physics if you want to be cool.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 2 21:49:35 2010 No.1321865 Can't you major in robotics? If not, mechanical engineering or electrical engineering

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 2 21:50:35 2010 No.1321880 I was planning to do either electrical engineering or mechanical engineering while minoring in physics (for sure). I'm leaning more towards electrical though

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 2 21:52:35 2010 No.1321898 >>1321880 Take mechatronics if your college has it. It's a combination of the two plus a few others.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 2 21:52:35 2010 No.1321899 >>1321880 Electrical is more challenging and you will learn how to do more artificial intelligence stuff. But the most difficult part will be telling your parents that your of teh gay.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 2 23:03:35 2010 No.1322207 Do electrical. I did mechanical with the same intentions you had, and I discovered that the mechanics you need for robotics are really secondary... the hard part is the electrical.
