I'd actually suggest two systems. One should be used for parts, and one for tools.

For tools, the team number should be in the serial number (helps if it's loaned out), as well as if it's a tool to take to competition, and probably where it goes in the shop. As an example, 3617C020304 could be a tool belonging to team 3617, going to competition, stored in toolbox 2, drawer 3, and it's the #4 tool out of that drawer. Size might also be a good thing to include, or not. The key thing is that any team member should be able to put it away almost without thinking, even if they'd never seen the tool out before.

For parts, that's a bit tougher. Raw material probably shouldn't have a part number--instead, sort by type and label the bins/racks as much as possible with size data. But if we're dealing with COTS parts, or parts built for a particular robot, then having a year (purchase or robot year, depending on COTS/custom status) and then having general type of part (motor, gearbox, whatever) and a number is probably a good idea.
