Part of my Engineering class requires us to program a robot toy named Ozobot, which can be found here. My question is whether I can use Scratch as the programming platform instead of the overly simplistic OzoBitly programming language included.

Unless the OzoBot uses the PicoBoard or Lego WeDo, no, you can't.
However i have found this http://ozoblockly.com in their site, which you could use.

If you use Windows or Mac and the OzoBot uses USB to communicate, then a Scratch 2.0 extension is possible.
If you are using Scratch 1.4 you could have an external program that communicates with Scratch and the OzoBot.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. But OzoBlockly seems to be the easiest optionUnless the OzoBot uses the PicoBoard or Lego WeDo, no, you can't.If there's some way to run it with JavaScript, you could also make a Scratch extension for it.

Wow… it looks like Ozoblockly actually just encodes the program as very fast color flashes, and you hold your ozobot against the screen to load the program. Here's a really terrible gif, potential seizure warning, note that the framerate is severly lowered and when this is actually happening the colors go by wayy faster. So, it doesn't really make that much sense for this to be a “live” sort of thing with scratch, but you could potentially create a program to parse a scratch json file and turn it into the flashes.
It seems like your set of commands might still be limited to what ozoblockly has, though. You're probably best off sticking with that.

Seems like it would be kind of annoying to use though.

The reason is that unless they get their rears in gear the complexity in the system will not be there. I would need a lot more customizaton.Why, though?

Probably, since it's based off Google's BlocklyIs that open source? I'm too lazy to google it.Why, though?

Well that's the only way to do that right now since it seems like that's the only way of programming with blocks with the OzoBot because the functions for each color most probably come preprogrammed in the OzoBotThe reason is that unless they get their rears in gear the complexity in the system will not be there.
