+In conclusion we successfully developed an autonomous cooperating behaviour program. From testing the code on the built hardware, it was able to demonstrate individual parts of the targeted behaviour, however it lacked the processing power to fully demonstrate complete system functionality.

+The system can be improved in future by:

-Follower - tracks  encoded Infrared signal containing the Leader’s unique IDl to seek and maintain a position in the formation.
+Improving self correction of system behaviour

		+	Units communicate via a dedicated WiFi network using UDP packets to minimize network traffic congestion. Packets contain the Sender’s ID, Destination ID and pre-defined messages to minimize packet size and latency. The packet structure is shown below:
		+
		+	[Sender, Destination, Message]
		+	Sender = 3 bytes, Destination = 3 bytes,message = 1 byte
		+
		+	These messages are routed by a central communication point called the “Brainbox”, that is responsible for:
		+	Real-time system diagnostics
		+	System state management
		+	Chain structure formation and organisation
		+	Assigns the role of each Unit
		+	Updating Followers’ Infrared targe
