Abstract. Lorenzo showed his experiment in which a e-puck swarm has to create a chain starting from a TAM.
Issues
Mess in front of the TAM: When there is no tail yet, each epuck that enters the tam, starts to go around the guardian. It stops when it's able to see the guardian and the tam's led. This condition happens rarely due to the other epucks that try to enter the tam.
Proposed Solutions:1- The use of selective send of the range and bearing. 2- Use a uniform probability to stop.
