Completely agree. The example I posted above was one of the more 2013-specific topics done by one of our more advanced students, I'll be posting other examples from this year with topics that include "Shop Tool Maintenance" and "How To Crimp Wires." We also have projects documented for our scout sheet, defensive match strategies, our chairman's video, our basic pit layout, our woodie flowers finalist essay, and a visual for how to diagram breaking down a basic design problem. Some of them are beginner level, and the intent of the documentation is to create a portfolio that will serve as a "training/hard lessons learned" manual for new team members. Like I said, hopefully, they'll be ready for post by tomorrow, I'll put up a link to all of them as soon as I've got it!
