We're especially tired of people not being able to meaningfully build things for the badge before the event, and none of those things working by the next event.

We put all the expensive and hard-to-get-right functionality on the base part. In future events, we will reuse this base part and maintain compatibility in software and hardware for existing hexpansions. The most energy-intensive part of each badge is the battery, so we've made it compatible with the batteries from the 2016 and 2018 badges.
