The NXTstep as Educational Resource
Our readers may remember Cyrus the Cat and his encounters with an NXT robot. (Video is Erik, the creator of the "Cyrus" video, is looking for the perfect engineering school for him. (His search is chronicled
On Erik's short list for the "perfect" engineering school is Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), because it has a first-in-the-nation, bachelor's degree in robotics. Erik first learned of WPI in the NXTstep blog, thanks to Larry Langellier's post about it on March 3, 2007.
Invest in your child's future: read the NXTstep blog. ;-)

Off the top of my head, you should definitelly check out MIT, Case Western Reserve, Carnegie Mellon and Tufts. They may or may not have a robotics degree, but they are definitely some of the top places for robotics research
