Our Team History

FRC 4131 was founded at Liberty High School as the Botty Builders in the fall of 2011 and had about ten students in total and three mentors. In 2013 the club re-branded as the Iron Patriots to more closely associate ourselves with our school. As the years went on the club grew to include an average of 30 students and 15 mentors (which include many team alumni). In the eight years, we have attended multiple PNW championships and in 2016 (Stronghold) were able to compete in the World Championships which were held in St. Louis.
We are proud of all our past accomplishments and can’t wait to see what is yet to come!
