I do the same for ours. I started this year including both supplier/vendor and the supplier part number or model number. The reasoning being that if we have turn over of mentors, we still have a list that says, what is that part and where did we got it in future years. I also added a column (only on the electronic) that shows the true cost/value of the item including kit parts. That way I can show the kids and people who are concerned about things like the entry fee, exactly how much the robot costs over all.
