gazeboODE or Bullet in Gazebo 13.x when reproducibility and accuracy conflict
Scenario I am setting up a Gazebo 13.x simulation pipeline where a world repeatedly spawns and deletes high-poly models during long runs. I need to pick a physics engine and configure the real-time factor, but the documented trade-offs leave me without a clear choice. Constraints ODE is the default and gives deterministic behavior, which matters because our
