kangaroo runs slowly because it is an universal physics engine.

if you can code yourself, this problem can be solved within a few lines of code.

here is one example by myself, it has the most simple structure to understand.

you can have some modification to the code (add some fixed circle) and this will work.

Hi! Thanks for the reply. I found this script that nearly gets me where I want to be. I'm pretty good at grasshopper but never scripted before. Do you think you can help me modify the script to add the fixed circles? Cheers! F
