It does not establish a final schematic correctness, fabricated board, interface version/pinout, electrical safety, compatible host, firmware outcome, sale/giveaway, DEF CON authorization, or image-reuse basis.
Primary team-published source. Its README names the DC 34 MechBattle Badge, calls the code the second menu/game-logic iteration for a CPEC DC34 badge offering, says it is not final, and links the draft game mechanics. GitHub's repository description explicitly says DEFCON 34 Mech Badge by CPEC. It does not publish hardware design, availability, final firmware, licensing, production, or image-rights evidence.
Primary CPEC game-code repository. Its PlatformIO target and public source establish a source-level ESP32-S3/Arduino display, BLE, QR, sound, menu, and game surface. It contains no reviewed root license file, event allocation record, deployed-firmware release, hardware-production statement, or image-reuse permission.
