[Mr. Mike]

Grem11 welcome to Chief Delphi

There are a couple of things your team/school needs to decide before equipment is purchased. How much floor space is available? What kind of power is does the room have? What kind of robot construction does the team want to build? (Sheet metal, welded, carbon fiber, ect.)

A CNC mill is a very fine tool but remember it still only cuts one part at a time. With 40k to work with you should be able to get 4 manual machines and tool them up. That way multiple parts are being worked on at the same time.
