He has only one leg... a round spherical one :)

I'm working on an app at the moment, using the Havok Xtra for online 
physics, that allows students etc to add a vehicle to any type of scene, 
and quickly try it out.
See http://www.candointeractive.com/gamedesign/car/levels

Having a stable rigid body engine ( eg ODE + OPCODE, instead of or as a 
selectable option rather than SUMO + SOLID ) is key to allowing Blender 
GE users the ability to create stable, complex environments.  For this 
current app, I've tried to automate everything as much as possible, so 
that students can quickly learn the basics of 3D modelling, and game 
logic, without having a complex scene setup, or export path.  Blender 
would be ideal for something like this, if the engine could handle it.
