I'm not sure if I understand what you are saying. The code at kevin.org/frc only tracks one IR beacon (either type-0 or type-1), and it uses four sensors, two on each servo. Is this what you mean by "tracking two IRs"? Also, you could use just "two or three" sensors -- but since they give us four, and code to use all four to boot, why not just use all four? If you don't entirely understand how the code operates, I recommend you look at it again, and also search around here in the programming forums, as there have been several threads about how the code works.
