Just something to keep in mind. If a majority is still supporting the idea than go for it and let us know how well it works.
I get where you are coming from, I learned from just watching and helping too. However, in my opinion, the watching and learning method is difficult as build season is rushed as it is. Adding learning to that process is why a lot of robots fail (I can speak for my team's particularly). This is not a tool to replace hands on learning but support it. So maybe you start by introducing prospective members to robotics with these videos so they have an idea of what they are supposed to do in the lab.

This sounds awesome and I would definitely be interested in contributing!

This was my rookie year and I would have loved to have something like this!
I agree, I wish that in my rookie year I knew some of the tricks and skills that I know now. I think this is a way for all teams to share their own tricks with everyone else to truly improve all of our robotics skills
