distribution and game

Somerset Recon's README says 400 badges were distributed at BSides San Diego 2024 and describes a wireless Bluetooth LE rock-paper-scissors game. The count is a source-archive claim, not a recipient ledger or proof that every attendee had an identical unit.

Commit-pinned Arduino-style firmware source for the archival badge project. The README says conference badges used earlier firmware, so this file is not presented as a verified event-day image.
