I’'m having trouble discerning between:

and

I don’t know if I need to enhance the drawings, but those look kinda similar.

The words, however, seem like a better description rather than the pics.

The upper image has a very deep gouge that looks to go >3/4" into the note. The lower one looks to have a shallow gouge, maybe 1/4" or so deep?

What were the field CAD updates? Anything major?

To my untrained eyes, it looks like the top note’s opening has started to “pucker” because it is so deep.

Upper one looks like a V-shaped deep groove.
Lower one looks like a skin scrape, with a bit of a dig into the foam.

I’m going to start collecting different types of human skin damage, from kitten bites to dog attacks to (hopefully not many) dismemberments.

Looks like an additional support on the bottom of the top truss of the stage, presumably to hold the top of the stage in place a little bit better.

The other is a piece of quarter inch polycarb just under the speaker opening to help prevent notes from getting jammed in there.

I didn’t look at the changes on the ring counters.

I like that they are combining the stage with the airships from Steamworks. It definitely a much needed balance change.

Something on the Amp. The upper bracket orientation “changed”. (I did a search for “2024” to find the revision boxes)

Big fan of the Note counter assessment shared in this update. Clearly a lot of effort went into calculating this and I appreciate the transparency and the resulting change allowing for more scoring time at T-0.

Notable chart from the doc:

I have to imagine this was all hand calculated and I don’t envy the person who had to spend a day doing that.

The examples for situations that match replays are allowed due to the Note Counter found in that document are also great.
