I end up doing a lot of the parts ordering/fetching. Students request parts, we usually use funds from our non-profit to buy robot parts because the school purchase system takes about 6 weeks, which makes it quite useless. I also end up buying a lot of miscellaneous parts with my own pocket money, because it's just so much easier than doing paperwork. I generally only spend a few hundred bucks of my own money for robot parts during build season.

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

There is a student treasurer who "handles" team finances...sort of...but really a lot of it is done by a teacher (club advisor)

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?

Inventory? what a concept!

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

Occasionally we replace missing/broken tools...generally, we suffer without them.
