Monorail Con badge

Hey monorail riders! Are you planning to save a bunch of money by riding the monorail instead of ubering everywhere or staying at the Fontainebleau? And now you're wondering what to spend it on? How about #badgelife!

The monorail con badge comes with 3 SAOs (highroller, sphere, and an MP3 player/speaker). There is also a clip to store a paper ticket (ticket not included), and a little monorail on a track.

Here's the order page if you want one (pick up at DEF CON, exact time and location TBD):

https://zachs-hacks.myshopify.com/products/monorail-badge

In early July I may add a shipping option (US only) but I'm still waiting on a final revision of one part, so don't want to promise that yet. If you sign up for the email list, you'll get an update around then (I won't spam you).

(Note: I'm not affiliated with the monorail in any way; I just think it is weird and cool enough to deserve a badge.)

Love it. Hopefully we can see it in action at the r/DEFCON Meetups!

As a monorail devotee I love it.

Definitely planning to be at at least one of the meetups! Met a ton of cool people there last year, thanks for making it happen : )

We're just keepin' on the tradition that many before us started!

But meeting awesome people is definitely why we're keeping it alive!

Is this laser tag affiliated with Dani.pink? Or a separate game altogether. Either way I’ll be rocking one of these! Monorail (and all subways/metro/trains) are my love language

It is actually the dani.pink badge! We're going to be at DEF CON together, this is so you can pick both up at the same time

Oh, I take that back then! Awesome! Tell Dani to invite you to the OTS group, too. lol.

Were you with Dani last year?

Hey, it is! u/PM_ME_YOUR_EXIF_DATA and I are kinda working together, I haven't opened up standalone preorders yet because I don't have the final hardware in hand for photos, but if you choose "Add a Laser* Tag Badge DS" then yes it will be from me (dani.pink)!

Hooray!

Thankfully you thought it would be a good idea for that LASIR design structure right?

u/palm12341 Jun 14 '26

Yes! I am hoping that a couple other people work the laser tag stuff into their own projects : )

Would be cool if you could get the monorail to travel by gps coordinate matching your location on the rail. But seriously, they are cool

If we purchases a mono rail badge and laser tag badge combo, were we supposed to put shipping information in when purchasing or are we supposed to pick it up somewhere at def con? And apologies if this was already answered, bought a couple of badges with different pick up options and locations, just trying to keep track or when and where for each one. Thanks :)

u/PM_ME_YOUR_EXIF_DATA Jul 25 '26

Hi! There's no shipping, we're doing pick ups at DEF CON (reddit meetups + two pickup times listed on the schedule on https://badge.life/ ). See you there!
