official village event association
Red Team Village's official page places the Village at DEF CON 34 on August 6-9 in the Las Vegas Convention Center Red Team Village area and announces workshops, activities, swag, and more. It does not state that RTV D20 is included with registration, used in a workshop/CTF, issued to all attendees, or grants access to any Village or conference space.

open hardware and documentation
Electronic Cats' repository calls itself the official UnknownSecurity Conference 2026 badge archive and publishes the badge's hardware documentation and usage notes.
Compatibility: Unknown Security Conference 2026 Pwn Llama Badge

open hardware design archive
The hardware repository exposes native KiCad schematic, PCB, project, footprint, and related automation material. Public source availability does not by itself establish a complete BOM, fabrication readiness, tested manufacturing output, production run, firmware parity, or reuse rights for every non-hardware asset.

The official badge supported the public OpenLASIR infrared protocol, allowing compatible third-party devices to join the game while tracking official and third-party interactions separately.

open-hardware lifecycle
RIAT publishes KiCad hardware, printable cases, documentation, fabrication-generation material, and v1.0/v1.1 releases under CERN-OHL-P-2.0. This preserves a reproducibility trail without proving final event production parity or a recipient inventory.
Compatibility: CDC Badge v1.0/v1.1 hardware
Source
open-hardware source archive
The organizer hardware tree exposes KiCad project files, rendered schematics, Gerbers, BOM, and placement data. The repository's licence statement is preserved as a schematics/hardware source condition only; it does not independently license every repository file, firmware component, photo, render, or external image.
Compatibility: Public organizer archive; downstream fabrication, electrical review, rights, and final event-unit status remain outside this catalogue claim
Source
open-source licensing
The project's licensing declaration assigns CERN-OHL-S v2 to hardware, GPLv3 to firmware, and CC BY-SA 4.0 to listed documentation and creative works. This supplies a clear technical-source trail, but its itemized scope does not by itself establish a cleared publication basis for each repository photo or a final event-unit configuration.

organizer- and source-described event context
ComunidadDOJO says the 2026 DOJOConf badge will be useful in the CTF, while the archive identifies PwnPet as its firmware framework and describes virtual-pet and CTF context only at a high level.
