Heres a little idea i had, ROBLOX could make it so different materials have different weights. For example, If i had an empty crate and a vending machine and I want to make it so the vending machine is harder to push around, I would make it a heavier material (I.E Concrete, Corroded Metal). The other option is to make it so you can set the weight of an object in the properties menu. either way, this would be a cool addition and make some ROBLOX games more dynamic :) Support down below.

@Sam Not that ive seen. Still, being able to set the weight of different parts through the properties would be interesting.

Oh, sorry. In the wiki it says it affects weight when the part is in water. Don't know if this applies to ROBLOX characters pushing it.

You can go into a part's properties and mess around with it's friction value. It determines how easy or how hard it slides across a surface.

I'm experimenting using BodyForce to make objects harder/easier to push. It's going well.
