Hi, your question is rather about engines. You will probably have to use
groupMask magic to differentiate types of spheres and adjust the
constitutive law for that. Unfortunately there is no unification on this
(yet).

For moving the spheres that are being pulled out: create
TranslationEngine and subscribe only those red spheres, something like
this (let's suppose that they have groupMask==2, for example):

ids=[b.id for b in o.bodies if int(b['groupMask'] & 2)] # this will give
you the list of IDs of red spheres

then put something like this amongst your engines:

DeusExMachina('TranslationEngine',{'subscribedBodies':ids,'param1':value1,...})

OK, but maybe you want to move only a few spheres that are at the
beginning of the bar?

I am sorry to reply in such a brief manner, if you send me (here or
privately) the simulation setup (.xml or just sphere coordinates), I can
prepare for you abundantly commented script thursday.

HTH, Vaclav
