Incorrect. Dead reckoning can be used for Autonomous control. having no sensors just means that the robot cannot react to anything happening in the outside world.

A very bold statement. I know of robots that have won regionals without sensors. Are you telling me that they were "not decent"?
I will say this to the OPs question: Add sensors only if it adds functionality to the robot and will assist the robot in performing its primary goals / strategy. Adding sensors just to have a "decent" robot is not going to help you.
