Jason,
Now that we have the whole story let's approach this on a different basis. Although no longer a rookie team they are still in a bad way. So prioritize by looking at the tools and supplies that are a must have for build, those that would be nice and those that are luxury items for the future.
On my list of must haves:
electrical tools, i.e. wire cutters, strippers, soldering iron and crimp tool.
mechanical tools, i.e. nutdrivers, screwdrivers, rivet gun, drill and bits, center punch, saw and files.
electrical supplies, i.e. wire of various sizes (at least #10 and #18), crimp terminals, interconnect cables, heat shrink, electrical tape, tywraps and solder.
mechanical supplies, i.e. hardware (asstd. screws, nuts and lock washers), rivets, aluminum (sheet and angle, add box tube if that is a favorite) key stock, lubricants.

Would like to haves include vise grips, heat gun, pliers, asstd. connectors, spares for KOP items especially a few extra CIM and FP motors and speed controllers, bench vise, hole saws, more drill bits, portable drill, extra battery charger and batteries (for drill and robot), deburring tools.

Please add your personal favorites to this list.
