Given the disbanding of the Open Alliance Discord server, will FUN be doing any 2025 content highlighting teams’ progress?

FRC Open Alliance should have some information out soon in regards to their future but yes regardless of what happens FUN would be delighted to create content showcasing teams build progress. We currently expect to continue that content piece under the FRC Open Alliance show moniker.
