Today, 22 volunteers assembled 3590 badge kits (minus the badge) in under 3 hours. It was epic to see such a self-optimizing machine at work once again, and we are super grateful to everyone who came to help out! :)
We now have 3590 of these kits, ready to be completed with a badge. We'll be doing that next Saturday, and we can really use more hands! Sign up at wiki.mch2022.org/Team:Badge/Swe… or in our DMs :)

Picture thread! We had a massive sweatshop yesterday because we messed up the design and had to rework 350 badges for @HotelHacker . A story in a bunch of pictures. All shots by Noor, our newest badge.team member and proud owner of an actual camera!
First step was cutting off 350 x 5 mosfets. Since we reversed the LEDs by accident, sinking to GND wouldn't work. We cut the mosfets, as this was doable without training and a lot faster than using hot air. Some traces were damaged (1% of the boards) but those were fixed easily!
