Mill or Lathe...

Well my team has sets it's fundraising goals, and one of them is to increase the functionality of our small machine shop. Right now our shop contains:

-Benchtop Drillpress
-Freestanding Drillpress
-Miter saw
-Bench Grinder
-Bandsaw
-Files... Many Files

So my question is if we have to decide between a mill or a lathe, which do you feel is better for a robotics team. I am not an educated enough machinist to know the full capabilities of either machine so i would love to hear people's reasoning.
