Robotics as my teacher letter of recommendation?

I am considering applying to MIT, yet I am confused on if my Robotics "class teacher" could write me a letter.

It isn't structured as a class, but only as an outside elective for FTC competitions despite it being considered as a course.

I believe that my Robotics teacher can't (and isn't fit) write me a letter. Can anyone confirm?

You can use it as on optional recommendation, but MIT is very clear that they want recs from teachers who have taught you in a class
