I 100% agree that they are not necessary. Our 2013 robot was built in a 20' shipping container with a tabletop mill, a small amount of outsourced mentor machining, and a box of scraps; made it to Einstein. 2014, same container, added a Bridgeport mill and a Harbor Freight mini lathe, nearly beat team 254 for the World Championship Title. 2015, actual shop space with reasonable manual machines, all CNC parts outsourced to sponsors, won Champs. Needed, no, but it can make life go smoother some times.
