                  For many distributed autonomous robotic systems, it
                  is important to maintain communication connectivity
                  among the robots.  That is, each robot must be able
                  to communicate with each other robot, perhaps
                  through a series of other robots.  Ideally, this
                  property should be robust to the removal of any
                  single robot from the system.  In this work, we
                  define a property of a team's communication graph
                  that ensures this property, called biconnectivity.
                  We present a distributed algorithm to check if a
                  team of robots is biconnected, prove its
                  correctness, and analyze it theoretically.  We also
                  provide distributed algorithms to add and remove
                  robots to/from a multi-robot team while maintaining
                  the biconnected property.  These two algorithms are
                  implemented and tested in the Player/Stage
                  simulator.
