For basic machines we have a band-saw, drill press, and a belt sander, along with hand tools.

I'd say those 3 machines would definitely get you started.

We also have a lathe and a CNC mill, but you probably don't want to hit your sponsor up for that right away...

For electronic parts, definitely get some:

Solder
Soldering Iron(s)
A good pair of crimpers
Various connectors
Heatshrink
Heat Gun-If you get Heatshrink
Wire Cutters + Strippers

Something else that can be very helpful are some vices.

Oh, and zipties. You can never have too many zipties.

And if you can find it, some magic. Magic is a great thing to have.
