Goal: expand functional self-assembly experiment and publish new and old work together in a journal.

Environment: Same as previous functional self assembly experiment.

Large group of robots must navigate over hill towards target.
If they encounter hill, they aggregate into several two sbot swarmbots (using group size selection mechanism)
The two-sbot swarmbots separately navigate the hill into the target zone. (using adaptive swarm rotation to avoid parallel approach)

Reuse existing functional self assembly controller. (Published work)

Group size selection mechanism to form two sbot swarm bots. (Completely new work)

Use adaptive swarm rotation mechanis to avoid parallel approach problem. (Previous unpublished work)

Goal: Further experimentation to add body to Phd / publish.
