Completely Autonomous, what to use?

I was just playing around with the idea of a completely autonomous robot, and I was wondering what methods of tracking where the robot is relative to the field, and to the other robots were out there, and what sensors would be necessary?

To track where it is relative to the field you could use sonar sensors and bounce off the sides of the arena, however robots could get in the way and give you a false reading.

You could use the camera to track the targets (assuming there are targets) and use the size and orientation to calculate your position on the field. But that will take a lot of computing power away from your c-RIO.

Any thoughts on how to accomplish full autonomous and what to use?

Thanks in advance,
