A trolley full of science...

This trolley contained the apparatus that was required to create six spoof wi-fi hotspots during my PhD work on urban pervasive digital services. I dragged this damned thing back and forth across campus for about six months! Today you could do it with a few Raspberry Pi's and a small rucksack...
