[FTC]: IR Beacons?

This year field includes a pair of IR Beacons; the Bill of Materials says they are reused from Hot Shot game and are produced by HiTechnic. Well... we are a rookie team, so we didn't paricipate in Hot Shot game - and the products page of HiTechnic ( http://www.hitechnic.com/products ) does not list IR beacons (it lists IR soccer ball, but this is clearly a different thing). So - any ideas on where one can get these beacons?

Re: [FTC]: IR Beacons?

Has anybody found issues with getting two motors in 4wd geared together (i.e. you have two motors, attached to the same gear train)?
