Philippine planned electronic badge and Type-B fallback

The ROOTCON 20 con-goers guide documents a planned September 2026 badge distribution model: electronic badges distributed first-come during on-site check-in while supplies last, with a simpler Type-B non-electronic badge fallback.

Why It Mattered

It keeps the Philippine ROOTCON lineage current without pretending the 2026 hardware has already shipped or that every attendee will receive the same artifact.

Hardware

ROOTCON's current public material proves the planned distinction between electronic badges and simpler Type-B non-electronic badges, plus the general ROOTCON taxonomy of electronic, non-electronic, black, and electi badges. No final ROOTCON 20 component, schematic, firmware, artwork, or production-run detail is claimed in this pre-event record.

Software & Apps

No public ROOTCON 20 firmware, app, badge game, schematic, or software archive has been recovered in this pass.

Lore

The 2026 guide repeats ROOTCON's scarcity-managed badge culture: attendees who want the electronic badge need to check in early, while black badge and electi badge traditions remain part of the broader ROOTCON badge hierarchy.

Type-B non-electronic fallback

The RC20 con-goers guide says electronic badges will be first-come at on-site check-in while supplies last and that a Type-B non-electronic badge will be provided as the fallback.

Operational history

Issues & Camp Impact

distribution scarcity note

The RC20 guide says electronic badges are first-come at on-site check-in while supplies last and that Type-B badges are the fallback.

The record does not imply every attendee will receive the electronic version.

Confidence: official pre-event guide
Status: planned
Timeframe: ROOTCON 20 on-site check-in
Source note: ROOTCON 20 con-goers guide.

missing rights-cleared image note

No local ROOTCON 20 badge image has been added because the event is still planned and no rights-cleared original badge photo or official reusable render has been verified.

The planned entry stays image-free rather than publishing generated art, placeholders, or unlicensed images.

Confidence: local project policy
Status: needs licensed original replacement
Timeframe: current catalogue build
Source note: badge.gallery image policy and ROOTCON 20 source pages.

planned/pre-event badge note

ROOTCON 20 is a future event as of this catalogue pass, so the badge record is seeded only from public pre-event guide language and does not claim delivered hardware.

The entry must be revisited after the event for shipped-badge details, final distribution, images, and any post-event technical archive.

Confidence: official pre-event guide
Status: monitor until event closes
Timeframe: planned September 23-25, 2026 event
