Every team receives an ultrasonic sensor as a PDV. This is a perfect sensor to be used for not slamming into walls at full speed in auto. There are dozens of other sensors that cost less than $50 that could also be implemented to stop teams from driving full speed into walls.
There are legitimate reasons why teams might not be able to stop themselves from driving into walls, such as inexperienced programmers or lack of programming time with the robot. However a lack of free/affordable sensors is not one of them.
