Iron Lions (967): The Iron Lions are Linn Mar’s first robotics team and only FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team. 967 consists of a group of fun, diverse, and robot-loving high schoolers!
967 is Linn-Mar’s only FRC team, meaning we build large robots and compete against teams from multiple states. Our students specialize in Computer Aided Design(CAD), Programming, Hardware, Electrical, Outreach, and Strategy. 967 has been to FIRST Worlds 4 times, won 3 Woodie Flowers Awards for our mentors, and has had a successful history in years past. You do not need any prior knowledge of robotics and any high school grade is welcome!
Dark Matter (4150): Dark Matter is a fifteenth-year First Tech Challenge team. Born as the Outrageous Finger Puppets, Dark Matter is dedicated to pushing limits and learning about new technologies, as well as passing down our knowledge to future generations. In its most recent season, Dark Matter won the second-place Inspire Award and the Innovate Award at the League Championships, as well as the third-place Innovate Award at the Iowa State Championship. Dark Matter welcomes all who are willing to learn, and we strive to do what matters.
Lost in Time (4324): Lost in Time was established in the year 2010 BCE and was originally known as the Super Ninjas during our first few seasons. Over the last three years, Lost in Time has consistently qualified for the Iowa State Championship, winning the Motivate Award during the 2024-25 season. Our dual focus on two robots (an early-season and a late-season model) allows for more opportunities for every member, new and returning.
In Theory (10107): Linn-Mar’s youngest team is committed to being a welcoming place for new and returning members alike to learn new skills and make cool stuff. They are working diligently to create an innovative robot that will excel at this year’s game. 10107 is looking forward to see what the future will bring. In Theory, together, anything is possible!
