Sonic Range Finder
"Compass" sensor
Vision tracking with onboard PC!
etc.

I've been unable to find any rules regarding them, so I presume I could use any sensor/extra processor I want, right?
The electronics budget is what's going to stop you. You can only have $300 worth of electronic equipment, and no single part can be worth more than $100. Plus, it must be purchaseable from Digikey, Future Active, Radio Shack, or Newark-in-one.
