Build Boldly.
Challenge Everything.
OtterBots, FTC Team 36009, is associated with Lewis Middle School. We turn robot code, engineering decisions, team growth, and Roblox Simulation experiments into a public record of how we learn and build.
Open every block.
Interactive diagrams, full comments, downloadable Blocks files, JavaScript, and student-friendly math explainers.
Visit Code Lab →02Follow the whole journey.
Engineering decisions, control systems, professional learning, community resources, sustainability, and student ownership.

Use our Roblox Simulation to explore scoring cycles, traffic, parking, and alliance decisions.
Launch Roblox Simulation →Design, measure, explain.
Every technical choice becomes stronger when students can show the alternatives, the test, the result, and what changed next.
