They were a pretty awesome team. Here's their robot from last year:

1771 has not really been disbanded. The team number still belongs to North Gwinnett High school. The team has not been able to find a dedicated teacher sponsor since the previous sponsor moved to Lanier High school after 2010 (and has started rookie team 4509 this year). In 2011 and 2012, the team had a different teacher sponsor each year, and neither sponsor was a sponsor in anything but name. This year, no sponsor stepped up, and the administration doesn't seem keen on doing anything anytime soon. It is possible that something may happen in the future, but there are currently no known plans.

In the meantime, At least one North Gwinnett student is helping out 4509, as am I, in a limited role. A 1771 alumni is also helping out with programming in between his college classes. 4509 has examined several of 1771's frames from past years, and based their frame design on those (all done by a student in Inventor), so expect 4509's frame to look similar to a 1771 frame.
