Years ago I worked out a 'virtual reality' simulation of a FIRST robot in VRML.
LOL some of you probably were not alive then.

It had really poor physics modeling and I suspect that most modern game engines would put it to shame.
Considering it was for fun I wasn't really putting much into it.

That said a modern game engine and Oculus Rift for immersion should be possible.
Considering what one can do with mere shutter glasses.

I am pretty sure DarkBASIC has Rift integration and real time accelerated physics support.

LOL I've had a DarkBASIC license since VB6 I bet that's older than some of you as well
