[ODE] combining bodies

[Kuldip Patel]

Fixed joints is a good option, and easy to handle. If it doesn't look 
realistic then start creating geoms and keep attaching to a single body.

In my case I attached the box ( the foot of the robot) and the capped 
cylinder( lower leg of a robot) to a single body because I wanted ZERO 
DOF at the ankles.

The doc explains how to do it, also look at the xamples.

Hope that helps.
