Hmmm, here is a similar idea by a group called "Evolution Robotics". The system
(called NorthStar) is designed that a robot with a simple reciver can identify a
room (and its position within the room) by reading the number of IR dots being
projected on the ceiling by a transimitter. Although it would probably take some
home-brew stuff, I think an exploitation of this idea would be feasible for a
Mindstorms robot. Here are some of the links...sorry if they are partially
redundant
