You can read an introduction to the ideas behind Kangaroo here:
http://spacesymmetrystructure.wordpress.com/2010/01/21/kangaroo/
Kangaroo2 is now available for testing (see full announcement here). Please bear in mind this is still a work-in-progress, and features are still subject to change.
Kangaroo2 is now included with Rhino6, you do not need to install it separately.
You can download it for Rhino5 from here:
http://www.food4rhino.com/project/kangaroo
This thread contains some troubleshooting tips if you have problems getting it installed and working:
http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/kangaroo/forum/topics/kangaroo-2
The main source of example files for the latest version is here:
https://github.com/Dan-Piker/Kangaroo-examples
Some further example files for version 2.0 can be found here:
http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/kangaroo/page/kangaroo2-additional-examples
with more to follow - if there is some particular feature you would like more examples of information on please ask there.
The Kangaroo2 solver library is now separate from the Grasshopper components, and can also be referenced and used in scripts, either in the GH VB/C#/Python components, or in RhinoScript/PythonScript in Rhino. Questions about these can also be posted on:
http://discourse.mcneel.com/c/scripting
Kangaroo2 is a complete rewrite, and the main solver/goal/force components are not cross-compatible with the previous version. However, you can keep both versions installed together allowing older definitions to be opened, and for now this is recommended, as there are also several utility and mesh processing functions relevant to both versions.
While v2 introduces many new features and improvements, not all the features from the old version currently have equivalents in the new version, but the plan is to add them all over time.
The links below are for the old version. More documentation and videos for the new version to appear soon.

Jonathan,
The script does not work with the new grasshopper! This tencil structure (http://www.aaschool.ac.uk/STUDY/VISITING/saopaulopavilion) was made by a team and Cynthia (Cynthia Nojimoto <cynnoji@gmail.com>) was my student, came to build the design in 1:1 scale. One AA teacher helped her with the Bend curve and used Kangarro. I simplified the script, if you need to see my project umbrella(http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/umbrella-porject?xg_sourc...) made to study the script. Contact her that will have updated information. My email: artagent@yahoo.com
Thank you very much I appreciate the help!
Hi Jonathan,
I've one script for a installation for ussing some sheets with bend curves in kangaroo, interfaces with arduino, firefly and sensors...was made in a AA workorkshop and i'll see if still working...OK?
I am new to Kangaroo actually just started playing with it today and got some hang of it but I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to do what is done in this video http://vimeo.com/11702813 I tried to see some of the grasshopper script behind but its too small. This is for an installation of a sheet that will move in respons to motion through sensors and some arduino boards.
Hi,
Does anyone know if it would be possible to model something similar to this video using wind in Kangaroo, any advice would be really helpful. Thanks

Hi,
I am trying to create a catenary canopy over 4-5 voronoi cells in one go but it seems like it is not possible. Does anyone have any advice on this?
Hi all
There is a curved surface,I want to made it subdivision into equilateral triangle mesh, how should I do? I have tried to pull a Partitioned mesh to the surface ,but when the Kangaroo works ,it is not what I want !
Anyone can help me ?
Hi all
I am using mesh relaxation for a model where diffeernt areas, of the mesh are more relaxed than other areas. I have decided the best way is to use cable ties and vary the stiffness of these which would then make have an effect on the mesh. Only problem is I cant seem to change the stiffness anymore (the cables to be larger than 5000 and the mesh lower than 400) without it exploding.. any ideas please?
Going back to older version of Kangaroo. I need to revisit a project that I was working on earlier in the year. It was done using Kangaroo (version 0.044). I still have the old KangPhys0044.gha file, but I can't remember or find information on where I was supposed to put it in order for Grasshopper to load it. Can you remind me?
thank you
