Re: can we use ultrasonic sensors?

The Maxbotix sonar sensors are available from Sparkfun, who is a pretty large hobby robotics distributor, so I'd say there at least decent if Sparkfun is willing to carry them.

As for IR Range sensors, you can get ones made by Sharp (easily the biggest maker of them) from either Acroname or Digikey. Just search for any of these companies and you'll find their websites.
