I wanted to say thank you to Northsec's incredible soldering village and badge team for their overwhelming dedication. I said it at the closing ceremony and will say it again: Northsec's #badgelife is only possible because they are involved. Thank you again for making it spectacular.

Headsup, you don't have to be super close to each other to sync. 10 to 20cm is ideal for the infrared to handshake
