Not in the "alpha" version. We are mainly concerned with showcasing the basic interface to the coding environment. We use LabVIEW and are looking for others to do Java and C++.

I do have the 3D physics to do generic articulated systems (your request). The trick is matching a generic configuration with the visualization and software environment interface. I want to get all of this going in a package that 90% of FRC teams could learn on thier own and use. Unfortunately it's a good size project, I don't have the time on my own to keep development on any kind of schedule, and last year's seniors who were helping have graduated.

The more requests I get, the more likely I will be to find the time to make this work. At this time my reply must be, "please wait for the Beta release which is under intermittent development."
