h1. Final Project Ordering

Remember to specify if you are keeping the parts later or not.  RU will pay for some parts, but nothing expensive, especially if you are keeping it.  We can probably afford around $50 per group, roughly.  Make sure that you follow the template shown below or you may not get your parts ordered.  This list must be completed by Thursday Oct 18.

Try to order from the recommended vendors first.  If the thing you need is not there, then make sure you include shipping and tax in the cost information, e.g. 25Euro + 15Euro(ship) + 10Euro(tax).
