For the computing parts, you could go with Vex parts--they are nice--but what about a laptop or two for your programmer and/or web team? Or a decent box for animation work? Or what about a printer you can bring easily to competitions? (Trust me, they're handy for a lot of things.) A good printer for the shop, if you don't have one, is also a great thing to have.
