is there a robotics class available this spring? If so, how does it count towards a degree and what are the prerequisites?

You should consider CS 438 Artificial Intelligence. That covers AI more generally, but gets into robotics as well.
robots suuuuuccckkk. ask anyone, but ross. :)
I believe AI (CS 438) is offered in the Spring and Robotics (CS 490) is offered in the fall.
AI and Robots are both CS electives. You need 4 or 5 CS electives (depending on if you've been here as long as Scott). ;)

Hehe, they're much better now that I'm not in a class with them. Building your own circuits and programming the thing is a lot more rewarding feeling.

Ehh, I would agree to some degree... (you'd be surprised some of the crap robots I've worked/am working with)...
... but that's just supposed to motivate you to improve the state-of-the-art... ;-)
The multidisciplinary Robotics: Integrated System Design (http://roboti.cs.siue.edu/classes/integratedsystems/) course is an excellent choice; I've TA'd it for years, and that baton has been passed to Shaun Martin (http://caos.cs.siue.edu/index.php?action=profile;u=422), so feel free to ask us about details (you can also talk to Dr. Jerry Weinberg (http://caos.cs.siue.edu/index.php?action=profile;u=103)).

I second that. Again, talk to Dr. Weinberg (http://caos.cs.siue.edu/index.php?action=profile;u=103) for more details.
Good luck! :-)
Thanks for the replys everyone!
AI is offered in the Spring and Mobile Robotics is offered during the fall semester.
I'd suggest both of them if you are interested in robotics.
