You could add infrared proximity sensors for cheap.

Light sensors are very, very commonly added to robots as sensors. They are one of the most basic, inexpensive, easy to use and useful sensory inputs and they can be used for such things as proximity sensing (collision detection), navigation (by following light sources), etc.

The basic light sensor is called an LDR (light dependent resistor).
