What exactly is your motivation behind wanting to get your range at that far away? Their may be ways around this limitation, depending on your reasons. And since it is an indoors environment, are you able to place static objects ahead of time? Probably not, but it's a thought.

The collegiate FIRST pilot is happening at championships. The field will be very similar to the FRC field, and will have a net over it (if I remember correctly). Though definitely a fantastic new way of looking at the problem, that won't work.
As for other suggestions- Kinect would be so much fun, but these are light quadrocopters (powered by arduinos), so I have a feeling that would be too heavy.
The other problem here is that there are platforms that robots must land on, so I am not sure how much help sonar will be. Not exactly sure what the altitude will be used for, but this may cause an issue.
