    I have a design I adapted from other robot sources. It uses IR. right now
    the sensor is being tested along with the BS/L board I designed. I can send
    you a copy of the schematic and board, if you'd like.

    The sharp gp2d02 is an excellent sensor for this range, costs around $25

    We have several Infra-Red sensors that would do the trick. If you
    just need to detect the presence of an object within a certain
    preset range, then our IRODS kit is for you. If you want an actual
    range to an object (4" to 36"), then the DIRRS kit is more the thing.
    Both are available as singles or in 4-paks. See
    http://www.hvwtech.com/sensors.htm for more info. Parallax also
    carries these so ask your local Parallax distributor about them.
