The FIRST ABC for Rookie Teams

Being a fresh Alumni of Team #2230 Zecharia's Angels from Israel, just before joining the army I decided to make a set of video tutorials covering simple FRC subjects and concepts. Basically, I was looking back at my team's rookie year of 2007 and I realised that even though there is so much written material over the net, us 16-17 year olds always prefered videos and pictures Especially here in Israel where some of the team members had issues with large articles written in English.

So for starters I wanted to make a set of videos of important subjects in Hebrew for all the new Israeli FRC teams. And I have a few questions for the rest of you:
a. General thoughts and ideas about the idea.
b. I'm pretty sure something similar to this has been done before (probably). If anyone can link me so I can check how they did it, I'd be very grateful.
c. Most importantly, I'd love to hear you guys (especially rookies and 2nd season-ers) recall which subjects were problematic or could have been explained a little better. I know it took me a while to understand the concept of torque without the basis in Physics for instance.

Good luck in pre-season learning,

Barak.

PS: If you are an experienced FRC Alumni looking to collaborate with me on this, I'd love to hear from you. Mail me @ barak.shelef@gmail.com
