Collision Issue / Misunderstanding

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion
1


This was a preliminary test of collisions, however it is not going as expected.
The issue is that at close distances such as pictured the blue disc passes under the ball. I would expect that the collision would occur and they go in separate directions with some of the force transferred to the ball (similar to pool).

I have checked the current documentation but that didn’t enlighten me.

Any advice or pointing in the right direction would be appreciated.
