As F4.network describes:

You also seem to be aiming to create a Slack group, just like F4 already has. While I'm not necessarily against the idea, I'm just curious as to if this will just be another "excess group" when similar groups (with similar goals) already exist.

You could argue that this group allows for mentors to also contribute - however, it's likely valuable experience for students to spearhead management for items you mentioned - parts, awards, even if they're just collecting and implementing/forwarding the feedback.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I'm just interested in what the benefits of this being a stand alone platform are.
The OP seems to be a member of F4, but from my guessing... theirs is for all FIRST people, not just students.
