First question: Space. What kind of space do you have available, and what kind of power that is reasonably close to that space?

Second question: Budget. Some of those items can be rather expensive for an FRC team to buy new or refurbish from used.



If I had to pick one item from that list, I'd go with the welder, IFF you have people that can use one, or get people trained to use one. Otherwise, the mill/lathe is a pretty close tie--some prefer one, some another--and the 3D printer would be close to last unless you'd be working with a classroom setting as well, in which case it'd be ahead of the mill and lather.
