Is there a lathe in there somewhere? Not saying that this list isn't impressive, but I'm still of the opinion that 10K could be better spent elsewhere. I like the suggestions of assembling your own 3D printer - you'd learn a ton about them and be able to better troubleshoot problems as they come about. It could be a fun off-season project for your team and they definitely cost only a fraction of the full ten thousand.
