[ODE] Robotics simulation

Hello everybody. I'm new to this list and thought I'd say hi...

That sounds very much like my project. I'm doing my master's thesis on 
reinforcement learning for balancing a humaoid robot, and I'm looking 
for a simulation environment to test my algorithms with. How has it 
turned out for you? Are you happy with ODE? Is Dymamechs any better?
