umm guys... i just realised somthing...i'm editing the videos here and it made me realise that i stuck the cupholders to the ends on every single one of them....

remember how in the new CAD model we moved the cup holders to the sides so they wouldnt hit them self when they get in???
do you guys think we should still move them??

Hey guys, i went into the computer labs after my exam and realised that they did maintenance on the computers this morning....

anyways i have the file saved shouldnt take long to redo it =)
