How does the IR setup work?

I don't fully grok how the IR system displayed at the kickoff works (and I have read many a thread). The part that confuses me is how the sensors determine what angle the beacons are at. Triangulation is easy once you know which direction the beacons are realative to your robot, but how can this be accomplished?
