To CNC? Or not to CNC?

Our team has it's own shop complete with a very nice set of tools. However as far as power tools go we are somewhat limited. We have no milling capability whatsoever, save a drill press. This did not hamper us this year, but I'm interested in what it would require to obtain/access a CNC mill (Even a small one.) What does a CNC allow you to do that are impossible to do otherwise. Is it a good investment?

We are in Falls Church, VA (Very close to DC, West Falls Church Metro is literally a stones throw from our building). Any teams nearby have a CNC we could use?

(Could we make one? )
