The beacon parts are for the two beacons that will be on either side of the field. Neither gets mounted on the robot itself. Drive the beacons with the EDU controller running the beacon software provided at the IFI web site (labeled "IR Tracking Code - Kevin.org").

The robot gets just the one piece IR sensor (4 are assumed in Kevin Watson's code) hooked directly up to digital inputs 1-4. Drive these with the navigate software also in the download above.
