Collision physics

I''ve done the simple mechanics for colliding speres (momentum, restitution, energy considerations) but need to expand them to real world tye stuff: first, imagine two metal bars. One swings and somepoint along it''s length collides with some point on the other bar. I fugure this is reasonably simple? Then have the bars connected at one end e.g two people holding swords when the swords clash. The swords are metal so should rebound but they don''t - is this due to poor restitution coefficiants of the people or what? Basically I want to have to robots that are physically accurate that can fight. But you''ve got to have connected body parts. Can this all be modelled using simple A-level type mechanics? Eventually I want to have deformable stuff like If I jump on the other guy''s leg it bends - but that''ll be a lot later!

Ummm, not sure that helps too much.
I just want a system of rigid massive bodies wjich are attributed various forces. The problem is that collisions are modelled as using impluse which works slightly differently.
