I've decided I want to build computer-controlled CNC machines, like 5-axis mills, or similar "building machines" that share similar technologies, like 3D resin printers with their x-y-z motion and application of a function at a point in space. I want to be a part of a group that builds these.
What first pieces of advice do you have?

I've got all the time in the world and I'll start junior year EE next Spring 2022

I just saw StuffMadeHere's [video][/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjJulcvTA7Y&t=1407s&ab_channel=StuffMadeHere ] and thought, "Yeah. Cool. I'd like to make those machines!

This would definitely involve Signal processing, Controls, Power, etc electrical engineering.

So what first recommendations do you have? What sort of technologies do these machines share. I ask so that I may pinpoint some information or knowledge that I should go out and learn! Perhaps I can find some classes on OCW about them, and pick my electives for college based on this decision. Maybe you've seen some similar arduino project sort of things that will get me into the "environment" of these machines. Maybe you've got a subreddit or forum you can recommend.

Thanks seriously.

‡ For the interested reader, my current education includes great fundamentals in linear electric circuits, c programming, MV calculus, differential eqn, kinematics, digital logic/verilog, rusty linear algebra and digital signal processing, beginner CAD and fea skils, and my resources include access to the internet, books, forums, the university and it's groups, and my small home lab. ‡

90% of it is mechanical design
Brumby:
... at least.

Bud:
Embedded programming is the least of you worries. As other said, this task is about mechanical design, which i understand you have no experience or knowledge of. You need to shift your focus to that if you really want to do it.
