Welcome to Lindblom Robotics! Beginning with our FIRST Competition Team 1781 and expanding to a robust multiplatform robotics program, our program seeks to help students develop an understanding of problem-solving, design, and collaboration by working on an array of robotic platforms.
Based at Lindblom Math and Science Academy, our robotics team includes introductory robotics programs such as the 1781 FIRST Lego League and the LindBot assignment, intermediate and advanced programs including FTC, FRC, and Duckietown, and participation with community teams in the Chicago Robotics Alliance. Through this cohort, we work to empower students and adults alike to embrace technology and use it to improve individual and communal outcomes.

Chicago Robotics Alliance
The Chicago Robotics Alliance is a cohort of Robotics teams across Chicago that works to empower students, mentors and communities through the development of shared resources, training, and community outreach.
Lindbot
The Lindbot is a low-cost open hardware robotics platform that introduces students to the fundamentals of robotics, electronics, mechanical design, and programming through hands-on activities, design challenges, and the use of rapid prototyping and advanced manufacturing technology.
Duckietown
The Duckietown project was conceived in 2016 as a graduate class at MIT. The goal was to build a small-scale and cute platform that still preserved the real scientific challenges inherent in a full-scale autonomous robot platform. It helps programmers learn about autonomous systems.
Innovation Lab
The Baxter Innovation Lab is a state-of-the-art prototyping and design center equipped with high-tech tools ranging from 3D Printers and power tools to Industrial Grade CNC Machines and Laser Cutters.
FRC Team 1781
Team 1781 is the flagship program for Lindblom Robotics. Students design, build, and program large-scale robots to compete in FIRST Robotics Competition.
First Tech Challenge
High school students are able to gain the experience by designing, building, and playing with robots in FIRST Tech Challenge.
First Lego League
AC Students learn the fundamentals of robotics by designing and building Lego Robots to compete in FIRST Lego League.
Mission Statement
Mission Statement
Lindblom Robotics strives to prepare students for leadership roles through project-based learning with the latest technology and a collaborative design process mentored by industry professionals. Together, we develop creative solutions, embrace Gracious Professionalism, and work to empower our community through STEM-based education opportunities.
School Information
School Information
Robert Lindblom Math and Science Academy is one of nine selective enrollment high schools in the Chicago Public Schools system, District 299. Lindblom is located in West Englewood on Chicago’s South Side and draws the best students from all areas of the city. Our student body is approximately 97% minority and approximately 65% low-income.
Educational Environment
Lindblom provides more continuous learning with the same instructional days as other schools. In addition, most courses are offered on a block schedule, which allows for greater depth of study while simulating the seminar courses at the university level.
Lindblom offers a demanding college preparatory curriculum where all core courses are honors and Advanced Placement. We offer students opportunities beyond the traditional curriculum and therefore expect much of students in all subject areas.
