Could you post part numbers and/or data sheets for the "Super" ultrasonic sensors and the compass, I am curious what added value you are getting for the added cost.
I would also caution you about relying too heavily on an electronic compass, in my experience (with the blimps from RPI in Manchester and Atlanta) the magnetic fields in arenas can be less than predictable.
