FTC 2012 RobotC IR Sensor Programming and implementation

[JohnFogarty]

So as you all very well know we have another IR beacon challenge on our hands. I know there have been teams who have had varying success with the sensor before like team 2818 GForce though a far as I'm aware they use LabVIEW. Have there been any teams using RobotC that have successfully used the IR sensor to guide their robot towards a target.
I have looked over the included driver and test/example files with RobotC and I can't make heads or tails of it really.
I've been told that there is a 30 degree area of detection where the sensor reads a certain value. Which makes me think that it can't be that accurate on its own. Can some teams give some code examples of how your team used the sensor in the past years as well as how you placed it on your robot or if you used 2 sensors in combination.
