I agree, but I think that decoding a beacon isn't necessary for navigation. The beam width won't be the factor for navigation, because either you decode the signal or you don't - it is not analog.

Um, not quite. The John Hancock Tower is across the street from Copley Square, and it's the OLD Hancock building (walking distance away) with the lights. But, good insight on blue & red.

They probably do, whoever gets closest wins dinner from the rest or something. We need to ask after kickoff...
A square in the middle of the field. The IR beacon your robot receives gives you some major advantage, but not having it doesn't mean you're not competitive. Red & Blue alliances, (my guess) 3 per side again.
