Setting stuff on Mass objects is basically just to define physical 
simulation properties like center of mass, moment of inertia, etc. Try 
printing a Mass object some time, and you'll see all it defines. It has 
nothing to do with the collision detection or other rigid body functions 
(position, rotation, joints, etc.).
