<p>I think that your experience as team captain is more interesting for what it made you try and see and think about coach-captain-team interpersonal dynamics, then whatever the team actually did on the robot. I think that is a topic you should consider writing about, regardless of what major you (initially) select.</p>
<p>Your expected choice of major at the time of application can change when you select your freshman courses in orientation (or pretty much any time thereafter), with some exceptions (for example, most schools won’t allow you to register for engineering courses unless you’re admitted to the school of engineering or have met the prerequisites therefore.) You’re not really locked in until you apply to graduate.</p>
