I think the minimum you need to have a competitive robot is a mill and a lathe.

As far as welding goes, it's pretty easy to forgo welding altogether. This year our team decided that we would not use welding so our robot can be taken apart if we need to replace parts. We used this feature of our robot quite often as we were able to easily swap gears, motors, and other parts very quickly between matches if we needed to.
