Hi Jake,

Here I've kept the wheel rigid with springs, and added a CollideMesh for the ramp.

It seems there is a bit of slipping happening - I'll have to take another look at the friction code.

Hope that helps,

Daniel

Daniel, 

Thank you very much. This is a great start just to allow me to understand the components involved. I really appreciate you taking a quick run at this (it would've taken me hours and hours).

Cheers.

Jake

Hi Daniel, 

I just wondering if there is a way to assign the rolling ball to the rigid bodies on Kangaroo II.

I looking to manipulate the center of mass from center of gravity and simulate the rolling behaivior of bodies.

Questions:

1.can we assign the moment of inertia modelable with volume moment  in Kangaroo definition? 

this is the same function, I am looking for.

2. How can we assign the center of Mass and the weight to the rigid bodies ?

I do apriciate your help and many thanks, 

Samim
