When is your assignment due?

Do you have to use RSSI?
How big is your box?
Can you use any object?

One alternative way to do it would be with visual object recognition
using a camera on each side of the box.

For using RSSI I would have thought that you would have to use 4
receivers and the object is the transmitter?
