%X Previous work has demonstrated the feasibility of using
   process\-oriented programming to implement simple
   subsumption architectures for robot control. However, the
   utility and scalability of process\-based subsumption
   architectures for more complex tasks and those
   involving multiple robots has not been proven. We report our
   experience of applying these techniques to the
   implementation of a standard foraging problem in swarm
   robotics, using occam\-π to implement a
   subsumption control system. Through building a system with a
   realistic level of complexity, we have discovered both
   advantages and disadvantages to the process\-oriented
   subsumption approach for larger robot control systems.
