[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of facilities, Hamilton will offer "best-in-class technologies and resources" for students interested in electronics and robotics:

Hamilton Invests in Digital Innovation with New $50 Million Facility - News - Hamilton College https://www.hamilton.edu/news/stories/ai-technology-innovation-building-campus

I am not sure of Hamilton's current status in competitive robotics, or of whether or not competitive robotics will be developed through the new facility. [/quote]
50 million is not that much…and it currently doesn’t exist.[/quote]

It’s plenty of money for effectively an expansion of the sciences building. It includes a new robotics lab, is under construction, and will be open by fall of 27. If you cannot contribute useful information please just keep quiet.[/quote]
I am contributing. You just don’t like it.

I’m don’t think of a resource that doesn’t exist, has not been used, and is not a current formal program as a benefit. [b]Fall of 2027 can easily be pushed back by construction realities[/b] and that doesn’t mean Hamilton will be fully ready to operate a robotics lab with programming by 2027- just that the press release and flashy building is up.

New programs are not where you want to steer your faith when something as simple as robotics is freely available at many institutions.

I’m unsure why your response was so emotional.[/quote]
The contributor up-topic was conservative. The "building is expected to open for classes in early 2027." In that Hamilton's resources place it among the most financially stable and, presumably, well managed colleges in the country — note its current financial grade of A+ by Forbes — I wouldn't worry about the school getting the project completed on or close to schedule. As an opinion, the coming year or two would be a great time for a student interested in the rapidly changing technologies of electronics, robotics, or drones to attend Hamilton.

None of this has to do with robotics.[/quote]
A 41,000-square-foot tech facility with a robotics lab has a lot to do with robotics.

The robotics lab is for research, not for students. It's going to be used for courses and a professor. If OP just wanted a school with a course or professor researching robotics, we could list various colleges with CS faculty members that work on robotics, but they're looking for a competitive team. OP consider adding Williams.[/quote]
