Uh oh! Doesn't LEGO Creator have an explosion function? They've
probably got a patent application in the works for it, so you might
as well just give up on that idea. ;^)

That one might not be patented yet. Better hash it out before the
lawyers get itchy. So, would you want to start with an initial spin
and velocity for the entire model, or is a straight drop sufficient?
Do you get a different spread for a drop to the carpet vs. a drop on
a hardwood floor? At what height do you begin to worry about the
parts files breaking up into individual polygons? And how about a
special option to drop it into a bin?
