1. Do you have one dedicated person for ordering parts? If so, how do they know what to order? Is this a student ? A student and mentor?

We have several individuals who purchase parts. Most team parts are purchased with the permission of our lead mentor. However, anyone (student or mentor) has permission to purchase parts without agreement of others if that person deems necessary, but if the part doesn't get used, the cost comes out of that person's wallet.

2. How do you handle team finances? Do you have a student treasurer?

The lead mentors handle finances. We have no student treasurer (yet).

3. How do you handle inventory? i.e. when parts are depleted who notifies the person who orders or adds them to the order list?

We have no good system for this yet--right now, the lead mentor and myself keep track. Others notify us when they want something purchased.

4. How do you handle broken/missing tools? i.e. know that they have been broken/lost so that you can replace them?

We buy new ones, or mentors loan their tools. We tell each other when they break.
