So, you found the right team! :-) The reason why most people are on this
list is exactly because Blender already provides a lot of these things, we
"just" have to make them more accessible/appropriate for robotics people...
It's not that difficult to add dynamics to the robots in Blender for
example; "not that difficult" = 1/2 man year. Blender's collision engine
Bullet is one of the better ones in the field. Material removal and
addition is also there. But not yet integrated enough for the typical
roboticist...
