About the theory, you can learn yourself (I think) about practice, well, you may learn 1 or 2 platforms, but not all. If you get a job, you will for sure have to learn a lot from the platform they use, but much more of the application they do. Also the platforms get obsolete fast…

What about buy 2nd hand/use/resell some hardware? I do not know how much cost a Ms in CMU, but sure does bot even compare to 20k.

Sorry maybe I’m a little bit negative, but if you have already one good title, that is more than enough. The problem is I fully subscribe to Stallone[0]

That’s $20k for one robot. If you want exposure to the breadth of hardware a ME at CMU would bring, you’d need access to the facilities as well. Robotics takes space most people don’t have.

But Ms at CMU, aren’t you looking at about 400k?!
