According to Section 5 of the Manual, there were no limits on sensors that I could find except:
Cost: less than $200 US for one sensor, and stays inside the cost limits of the robot.
Weight: does not put the robot over the weight limit (last year, 120 pounds without the battery).
Must be available to any team that wants to use it.

Other than that and the size limit, no restrictions, but I was only scanning th Manual. The Manual is the number one place for what stuff is allowed/not allowed. For costs of sensors, look in the catalogs of your suppliers (try your mentors for some of them).

Sensors which were used widely are potentionmeters, encoders, gyros, hall effect sensors, accelerometers, CMU Camera and proximity sensors(I think I saw a team with them).

The only think I think that wasnt allowed was pneumatic pressure sensors, I think they disallowed the analog pressure sensors.
