Multiple IRreceiver beacon

The receivers have simple ON/OFF outputs. Connect each to an input pin. Scan the input pins to see if any are ON. The one that is ON is pointing toward a beacon. If two adjacent receivers are ON the beacon is somewhere between the two.

You can use two receivers on the front of your robot to fine-tune the heading. Put a baffle between them and only when pointed directly at the beacon will both see the signal.
