Last time I checked Tel Aviv is in the Middle East not Europe.

How do you find CMU to be a 'surprisingly high ranked school'?

>* 2 Safeties If you've figured out there are two safeties then this implies that the defense is looking to take away big passing plays but give up the middle of the field.

2 safeties is pretty standard and is just as much a run stopping defense. For example the corners in man on the exterior with the safeties in man on the interior is a run stopping defense. Backers often cover the apex or a safety roles to the center taking away the middle. Nice overal explanation but the strategy in football is to "show" one thing and do another which is why a pre-snap read only goes so far.

Sketch Up would not be a good option because it produces mesh models which look like garbage when printed, a good low cost Nurbs modeling software that produces true curves for digital fabrication would be Rhino 3d. The educational version of Rhino is $195. http://www.rhino3d.com/

Edit: and if you want to make your cups parametric like the examples the grasshopper plugin for Rhino is the way to go http://www.grasshopper3d.com/
