We have talked about this for a while before.
I think it's a very big problem to solve all of the physics stuff adequately
at the brick-by-brick level. The visualisation doesn't give me quite so many
worries (but then I work as a graphics programmer).
The physics would be my big concern. I've used ODE before - and (regrettably),
it's not the magic bullet you might think it is.
Whilst I'm sure you could build some sort of simulator - I'd be pretty
sceptical about it's ability to predict the performance of a real Lego
robot with any kind of fidelity.

| Here's a question for the group: Lately I've been researching robotic simulation tools such as Webots, and Player/Stage/Gazebo. Has anyone seen, heard, or thought of a visualizing robotic simulator that works with LDraw models? In other words, you (...) (20 years ago, 24-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)
