The complete FIRST Programming manual project

Me and my friends are planning on writing a Hebrew manual that will cover all the aspects of FIRST Programming.

From what I have seen this year, a lot of the Israeli teams (especially the rookie teams) have a lot of trouble handling with the programming of their FIRST robot. This is caused by many reasons, the main ones I think are the lack of any technical help from mentors and professionals (as well as no one on the team having any programming experience) and the language barrier. Although everyone in Israel is obligated by law to learn English in School, the levels vary from school to school. The fact is, that most of the material about programming, electrical systems, sensors etc. are all in English. Because of that we are going to try to write up a complete manual that will be distributed to all the Israeli teams, preferably a month or so before kickoff (and of course if any other teams want a Hebrew manual we will send them one ).

I would really appreciate it if people could send their own materials that they wrote or links to any online resources that you think will be helpful. Except for all the basics of C programming and using all the different functions and variables, using sensors and the CMUcam and all that stuff, I would also like to include some of the less important stuff like dashboard programs, custom circuit programming, LCD interfacing, interrupts, interfacing with co-processors etc.

Thanks in advance
David
