Turtles Used To Test Wireless Network

[HardOCP News]

Researchers are using turtles to test a wireless network of constantly moving (albeit slow moving) devices that transmit data from one device to another, then relay all the saved information to a central location.

Using a combination of orthodontic cement and duct tape, the students attached a postcard-sized waterproof computer to the turtle's shell. After christening the 16th male turtle he found in the area as "M16," Jones scribbled some information about the turtle's shell markings into a field book and set the snapper free.

This might give us some insight as to why they chose turtles.

Are the computers or the turtles worth more?

They reboot it.

I was actually thinking "they restart the level". Good enough though.
