gollark: Can't say about the first one, but I think there are cheap 433 MHz transceiver things for raspberry pis available. They can do WiFi and Bluetooth themselves, so you could maybe just use that.
gollark: Maybe it changes the settings on one of the video outputs in some odd way.
gollark: I thought they mostly used SAS disks?
gollark: We didn't do any mathy stuff beyond, what, square roots?
gollark: We did magnets a bit, but like most of the GCSE stuff it was very lacking in maths and anything and more just, er, qualitative stuff.
