Let me re-phrase that. The rules specifically prohibit beacons from being
used to locate the cans, however, the rules don't prohibit using beacons to
"return to base". The rules to the challenge were originally much more
strict and perhaps too challenging for someone to do with a mindstorms unit
in his spare time. If all you need is a beacon to get your bot to return
to the starting position then go for it.
