Something like this would be able to do most machining jobs needed at an event. I'm sure less expensive options can be found.
Other necessities off the top of my head: - Tap, Die, and Drill sets
- Wrenches, screwdrivers, sockets, pliers, files
- Band Saw
- Belt sander

I'd add a drill press. I also know that teams that weld like to have a welder, though I don't think welders are allowed at every venue. Overall, I'd say that teams want to have everything they would have in their shop (minus CNC things). So, being from a team without a mill or lathe, I personally think the only necessities are band saw, drill press, and sander. I'd also say that the hand tools are not necessary. Teams should be responsible for bringing their own or they can easily borrow those things from the 39 teams that did bring them.
Also, a small, but important thing is clamps and vises.
