FIRST Training Site Directory

[scifix]

Hello Everyone,
For my team, next year is going to suck. We will only have one senior and seven juniors (including myself) who barely know what we’re doing. Last year, mentors spent time for presentations on different topics such as programming, pneumatics, mechanics etc. In my opinion this method was very ineffective (it was way too boring and most of us were dozing off). I’m hoping for a new method of training during pre-season next year.
FIRST Training Videos sounds like a nice idea, but I don’t know when it will be ready:

So, instead I want to make a directory of all websites pertaining to the construction of a Robot

Topics include:

Drive System
Motors
Pneumatics
Arms / lifts
How to manage a Project
Basic electronics/wiring
Sensors, control, programming
C Programming
FRC Strategy
Business plan/ fundraising
Team Organization
Team Spirit/Gracious Professionalism
Safety

In addition:
Website (HTML etc)
3DSMax
AutoCAD

The sites do not have to be from teams involving FIRST. Sites that discuss the similar systems are welcomed (Lego League, Battlebots, etc.)
Recommended Books would also be nice.

Here are the sites I have right now:

Robot Curriculum from Carnegie Mellon University:
