radio interaction surface

2.4 GHz radio badge surface

The 2013 development post lists 2.4 GHz radio as one of the headline badge features, placing Hackover in the same radio-badge experimentation era as other early European badges.

Hackover 2013 Badge note

assembled-for-beginners design choice · primary development post · historical

Hackover explicitly changed from the previous year's optional assembled Invader-style board toward giving every attendee an assembled and flashed PCB.

This is useful lore for European badge culture: the organizers optimized for immediate on-site play and beginners, not only for people already comfortable with microcontroller programming.

Hackover 2013 Badge note

missing rights-cleared image · local project policy · needs licensed original replacement

No Hackover 2013 Badge image is published because the current public source trail has not been paired with a reusable original badge or artifact photo or official upstream raster render with source URL, license or permission basis, attribution, and processing notes.

The Germany record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.

source-depth caveat · primary blog and archive posts · needs git archive recovery

The Hackover blog and archive support the event, ticket, feature-list, firmware, and schematic-link facts, but the current live git redirect requires authentication and has not been mirrored into this dossier.

The first-pass record avoids unsourced chip-level, firmware-feature, and designer-credit claims until the repositories or original media are recovered.
