Robotics Training Online Course Idea

It would be great to see a common resource for training. I would want to be able to give it to my students as an optional enrichment resource and/or select particular videos that I could show students durining a training workshop.

Scenario examples:

- running a student training workshop and teaching about some common FRC skill or knowledge, like common drivetrains, mechanisms, CAD, strategic robot design, safe operation of a drill press, how does github work. "Let's all watch this video and then we'll discuss further".
- on-demand instruction of specific skills to students (or mentors!) like how to solder, how to crimp a PWM wire, how to reflash a robot radio. "Let's watch this quick video and find out how to do this"
- student comes and says "how can I learn more about X?", I can give him the link and say "knock yourself out"

I love the idea of FIRST-specific training, and I think there will also be an ongoing variety of general robotics training and courses available online. Just yesterday, I found this awesome-looking intro to mobile robotics offered on Coursera starting July 4: https://www.coursera.org/learn/mobile-robot#

For those non-FIRST-specific robotics courses, it would be great to just have one place to go where the list of resources is crowd-sourced.
