    Could something like this be useful for that last idea? You’d still need to go home afterwards and run the stuff you collected through a program to try to decrypt it, but with a coordinated effort you might be able to find something.

      Oh wow, that pwnagotchi is something I thought of making with a raspberry pi except much less evolved. Edit: although the device I imagined would then work as a wifi hotspot, basically connecting to the strongest wifi it can where it is, and then you connect to the raspberry with your phone or whatever. Essentially giving you free wifi anywhere, as long as it can crack the passwords lol

      Though I have to wonder how the robots connect to the network. Maybe 4G? Using public wifi seems unreliable, that’s a good way to lose track of them. The article points out the robot can detect devices emitting a wifi signal, but that doesn’t mean it itself connects to wifi as well.
