I've switched majors at my local community college ( I know right.. pssh..) from Pre Med to Computer science and have to take some pretty basic programming classes along with a single robotics course. The Robotics class is new this year at the place so we're learning about the robot along with the teacher which makes things go extremely slow. Apparently we'll be using a little bit of Python programming to get the robot to do things like move, dance, talk to us, understand our different voice tones and such. But at the rate the class is going I highly doubt we'll get anywhere near that soon. Moral of this story: if you want to go into robotics behavior, don't go to your local community college. And definetely don't try any of those technical schools they announce on TV like Devry, Phoenix, Brown Mackie.. big ol' ripoffs.
Since you're from Illinois I would try to find a good engineering school. Here in Kansas its always if you want to do Medicine, Art, or teaching go to KU. For anything agriculture, business, and computer engineering go the K-State way. It all depends on your needs
