As I recall, there's 3 types of badges, maybe 4.
1. Operator/human player badges are light blue, not dots. These are interchangeable.
2. COACH badge, same as above, but with a yellow dot. This means no-touchy the controllers. Even to save them from certain doom. (Yes I've seen a penalty for that.)
3. Safety Captain badge. Light green, you don't get field access with this badge.
4. I think I saw media badges at Lone Star? I was roaming the pits 90% of the regional, so I dunno. If I wasn't hallucinating, these were also light green but obviously conveyed field access.

I've neither heard of nor seen media badges that resemble the badges worn by the drive team. Everything I've seen that says "MEDIA" on it resembles the square badges worn by volunteers. The registration envelope that my team received at West MI last week only contained two operator, one coach, and one safety captain badge.
