The real problem, would be how to return the data to the RCX. The sensor would
either have to return the two 'distance' values, and use two sensor inputs, or
do the arithmetic itself, and return an X/Y co-ordinate pair on two inputs.
Either way two sensor inputs would be needed. The 'simplest' solution, would
be single sensors, that have an ID. The IR pulse for each beacon would carry
the same ID data, and the sensor would just return a number coresponding to
it's distance from it's beacon. Using just one such sensor, will give you a
radial distance, using two will give a position, with the 'coda' I allready
mentioned, that the solutions are the same if you are on either side of the
beacons (normally the software could 'allow' for this if you know the beacons
are at one side of the mapped area.
Best Wishes
