WOPR Summit
The inaugural 2019 Atlantic City WOPR Summit edition whose public Hackaday coverage and first-hand Russell Handorf build guide preserve the 0x00 soldering badge, badge-hacking area, and hardware-design workshop context.

The WOPR Summit 0x00 badge was an attendee-assembled electronic badge for the inaugural Atlantic City conference. Hackaday documents a WarGames/WOPR-inspired board with a dozen colored LEDs, eight RGB LEDs, through-hole LEDs and resistors, battery holders, and an ATtiny841 controller, while Russell Handorf's build guide preserves the soldering and staff-flashing workflow.
Lifecycle
Attendees assembled their badges at soldering stations with peer help and minimal official guidance before staff flashed firmware.
The Handorf guide says firmware would be loaded by staff at the info booth after assembly.
Hackaday and the build guide identify the reverse-side microcontroller as an ATtiny841 / ATTINY841-SSU.
Hackaday describes the WarGames-inspired display surface as a dozen colored LEDs plus eight RGB LEDs.
Hackaday reports that Russell Handorf and Mike Kershaw used the badge as a simple low-part-count reference design during their hardware design workshop.
Operational history
The software section records the verified staff-flashing workflow without inventing firmware behavior or challenge internals.
The record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying article or build-guide media without a clear reuse basis.
The United States record remains source-backed and image-free rather than copying source-page media, documentation screenshots, event photos, social media, placeholders, or generated approximations.
