What sort of engineering would robots, as a whole, be put in? Or would
robotics be considered a blend of different kinds of engineering?
-Kat

Kat,
  That question is one that a LOT of schools are asking right now. At the
present time (in my opinion) it is a blend of different kinds of
engineering, which is very much determined by the type of project that your
doing. For example, autonomous flying robots would be a blend of
aeronautical/mechanical (flying, structures),
electrical(programming,systems), and computer (vision systems, programming).
However, if your doing a project on the ground with "off the shelf"
components, just about anyone with enough interest can work with robots
quite well. High school students can work with and program the Handy Board,
for example. Just my opinion.
