Hi.

The box drops:

I slowed the simulation down a bit to get screenshots, and this affected
the way the small box penetrates the large box. Often, the small box will
penetrate into the large box as much as half the small box's height.

I see what you mean about the friction. As I said, I just based the code
on test_boxstack. I'll try some smaller values to see if it makes any
difference.

thanks,
