Hello,

I'm looking for a simulation package that will allow me to model
a play-pen type environment for a small mobile robotic (say about
30cms diameter). I would like to be able to model the collisions
with objects in the room and the action of (say) simple bumper
switches and maybe wiskers.

Does anyone know of such a package, or where I could find a library
of routines to model physics of the individual events
(e.g. a glancing collision with a wall).

Many thanks in advance,

Jonathan
