Maybe, on the field, there are IR emitters all over the place, each giving off a different code. You can use the IR receiver to pick up these codes, and tell where your robot is.

This is actually very possible IMO. I am actually planning on creating this type of thing, similar to STANGPS except different technology different sensors etc and cheaper and possibly redistributing it as a white paper. Hopefully FIRST is doing this for us but I believe that if real development in this "Field Mapping" type project is to occur than it will be team led since FIRST wants US to develop that type of stuff.
