A pre-event record for the February 19-21, 2027 HackerHotel badge. Badge.Team's homepage still advertises LoRa, a keyboard, a big screen, and an ESP32-P4-class processor, while the official badgeteam/hackerhotel2027-hardware repository, under active layout work by Renze Nicolai and Julian Scheffers since September 2026, holds a CERN-OHL-P-2.0 KiCad design for a starfish-shaped CH643 LED-matrix board with infrared and LiPo charging, with a prototype-1 Gerber and assembly package committed on October 22, 2026. Which direction ships is not yet stated.
