TROPIC ENGINEERING DEFCON 32 STATEMENT A statement from Entropic Engineering on the developing Badge situation at DEFCON 32 (2024) August 10, 2024 Entropic Engineering was approached in January ‘24 by the DEFCON Badge Team, who were looking for a small company to partner with. They expressed that they specifically wanted to work with us as a woman-owned, queer- and POC-driven engineering firm to develop an electronic badge with a gaming element for this year’s conference.

They expressed that they specifically wanted to work with us as a woman-owned, queer- and POC-driven engineering firm to develop an electronic badge with a gaming element for this year’s conference. Through this period, Defcon’s responsibility was the game-specific software, badge accessories (i.e.: plastic case and lanyard), and the printed circuit board artwork including the cat shape, colors, and silkscreen. We did everything we possibly could in order to make the badge happen this year as a love letter to the community we care about - the whole team poured everything it had, including many sleepless nights for many many months.
