We have a pretty good organization set up this year with all of our stuff. We've got all of our "general" use tools in a rolling drawer cabinet. Our fancy snap-on tools go in a bunch of really old vidmar cabinets and in the old (from like the early 80's) original boxes they came in. Investing in a good set of tools is really worth it.

Then, we've got all the FRC related stuff in more drawers, with separate drawers for cylinder, pneumatic fittings, valves, bearings, shafts, threaded rods/lead screws, motors (like 5 drawers of these), belts, pulleys, gears, gearboxes, etc...

All of our hardware goes in these divided boxes. We have 2 boxes for 8-32, 10-24, 10-32, and 1/4-20, and single boxes of the weird sizes like 12's and 10-36's and the metric parts. These boxes have divided sections for common lengths, nuts, lock nuts, nylock nuts, washers, and lock washers. The same thing repeats for machine screws, and cap screws.

For file organization, we use our school's network. We have 2 TB of storage that holds all of our CAD, pictures, software, and other resources for the past 10 years.
