If you have a manual milling machine, a rotary table, and digital readouts for all three X, Y, and Z axis', you can pretty much make anything you'd ever need in FRC. You may not get all the fancy lightening pockets that is possible with CNC, but you can still achieve tight tolerances and have fully functional parts.
