Hacker Con Badges

Issue dossier

The public trail documents DingoCar sessions, Raspberry Pi control, TensorFlow-style training, and self-driving behavior, but this pass did not recover a stable schematic, BOM, model archive, firmware repository, kit quantity, or explicit project license.

A linkable camp-impact record with badge context, severity, evidence confidence, and source notes.
