Though I suppose I would start with the basics of drill press, table saw, band saw, bench grinder / belt sander.

OP mentioned as well buying a second (assumedly second) RoboRio, and that would be a good investment as long as you intend on utilizing it for either a full fledged practice robot or testing bed.

I would focus on sustainability first; buy all of the parts that you know that you'll need and utilize first, then get tools that can help you advance to the next level of building.

A lathe, CNC router, etc can all be helpful.
We do not currently have any machinery whatsoever. We have items that came in our Rookie KoP and our standard KoP and small tools that we've gathered from our garages. We began with a $0 and ended up spending about $300 after kickoff.
