A small laser cutter can be useful for giveaways, marking things you own, and for light-duty fabrication. I'm not sure how useful it would be for fabricating actual parts for an FRC robot. Last time I looked at buying a laser cutter, I did quite a bit of research and determined that Boss Laser was who I would most likely go with, given that I was on a budget. At the time about a year ago, their customer service via e-mail and phone was quite good. We ended up purchasing some different equipment, so I can't offer a first-hand account of their products.
