Re: 971 CNC Router

For your third question:
I think 971 did theirs all custom will ball screws and the like IIRC, but for the typical teams there's a lot of options out there. The Shapeoko 3 is like $1,000 and can do aluminum (albeit slower than an industrial machine) and is just put-together. Other kits out there are anywhere from $500 to $10,000, and the skill required to build it varies.
However, most I've seen take almost no tools as they're built for hobbyists. The average FRC team should have few problems.
