Re: Interest in a comprehensive LabVIEW tutorial aimed solely at FRC?

If you want, I could help by translating (with either subtitles or actual translation depending on whether you use text or videos) the guide to Hebrew for teams from the Isreal regional.
I think the benefit of having many smaller videos would make the updating process manageable. If a LabVIEW update changes the content of a subject, just that small lesson could be re-recorded (probably in 5 minutes or so). I have used text-based programming guides before for LabVIEW and haven't found them quite as effective dues to its visual nature. I will definitely consider your idea of using more pictures however, and I'll keep the subtitles comment in mind.
