about rotate

Hello,
the problem is with fixed zeroPoint. You have to update is each iteration
by PyRunner (at least if I guessed the intended behavior):

O.engines = [
   ...
   CombinedKinematicEngine(...,label='combEngine'),

 PyRunner(iterPeriod=1,command="rotEngine.zeroPoint=O.bodies[0].state.pos"),
]
rotEngine = combEngine.comb[1]

cheers
