Dropping an item from a tool to a box

#1
Is there any way to "drop" a picked item when I detach it from the tool?
I have an pick and place application I am simulating where at the end, the final assembled item is dropped into a box for the worker to retrieve. Is there any way to like simulate gravity on just that specific item and maybe even collision between just it and the box? 

Thanks in advance!

You can use Collision_Line to check the collision between any 2 points. For example, the current position of the box and the floor (or any object between the current position of the box and where the picked item should be dropped).

We also have a gravity plugin which aims to simulate gravity.

Very cool. Is there a way to use Collision_Line to programmatically apply gravity to just that object once collision line is triggered. Rather that applying gravity to the entire scene?

You can't use Collision_Line to apply gravity out of the box. However, you could write a script to make this happen when you detect that certain conditions are met.
