Hello there!
So first, to talk a little about the robotics competition you saw in the trailer, that was a high school robotics competition called the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC for short.) I made a big video about it [url="here"]https://nerdonthestreet.com/news/view/tech/first-robotics[/url]. If you've still got a few years before you go to college, I would highly recommend checking whether there are any FRC teams you could join in your area. It's a great way to try your hand at lots of different technical fields. FIRST is based in the US, but there are some teams in other countries as well.
As far as courses go, I decided to study Information Technology for my higher education. IT involves a lot less programming and a lot more [i]using[/i] and setting up computers when compared to a Computer Science degree. I started off at a university working toward a degree called Information Science & Technology, but I transferred to a technical college for this past semester, and the Information Technology degree there is entirely different. The skills you learn will vary widely between different schools, even if they're named similarly, so I'm hesitant to recommend one degree over another.
In general, Computer Science is more theoretical math stuff and Computer Engineering is more physical hardware stuff. Between the options you named, I would guess that Computer Science and Mathematics will be a little more about book learning and programming, while Computer Science and Engineering would be more physical, and possibly more practical. You really need to visit whatever school offers those degrees and ask the people there what the different options would entail.
