I assume this is the SBricks you're referring to? If that's the case, you can make your own SBricks extension by forking the scratch-gui, scratch-blocks, and scratch-vm repositories, like griffpatch has done here. Extensions need to undergo a lot more consideration before they are integrated into the core of Scratch.

@Kenny2github No need for cloning scratch-blocks. Extensions are handled in vm and gui.

Thanks for the responses. I'm volunteering teaching at an elementary school to teach the kids Scratch. I would like to teach them some robotics as well. The SBrick solution is a lot lower cost for parents if they want to try it at home and I think will be a bigger adoption rate than Mindstorms because of this. I could fork Scratch and create my own website but I doubt the school would go for that. I certainly appreciate you considering adding SBricks into the Scratch core. Thanks!

We already downloaded the scratch 3 code and developed the extension. Now trying to find a way to include it to the "official" extensions. Thumbs up! :)
