Kevin,
Thanks for the link explaining that the system uses BOTH beacons instead of ONE. I guess it finally clicked. I had trouble understanding how to manuever both directions ( left and right )using using a single "line of sight" source. My trig skills havn't been used in 20 years so I hope the students can help us out with triangulation.

I am still a little confused why 4 receiving LEDS are used and not 2, 1 for each beacon. ??
