Re: triangulation

basically, given the sensors you have, you can do one of the following:

1. home both trackers on one beacon, then triangulate to know the distance and angle to the sensor from the bot. Note - you do not actually know the position of the bot, only the relative position of the beacon.

2. home one tracker on each beacon, then try to get one beacon behind you while the other is in front. again, you do not know the exact location of the bot itself, only a relative position.
