Developing a generic physics-based simulator that would be usefully accurate, is another tall order (see my other post). I would not be optimistic, except at the level of approximating things like generic high-speed and low-torque, or low-speed and high torque, (or middle-of-the-road on both) options.

In a separate, but related vein, developing a software-interfaces simulator that would help teams develop, test, and integrate their robot code would definitely be feasible without falling too far down too many rabbit holes. Someone should do it.
