Mine don't collide with dynamic bodies. Are they supposed to?

As far as i know, they should not. Kinematic bodies are velocity-driven whilst dynamic bodies are force-driven.

And yes, my guess was correct :D :

#1Explaination:
kinematics is the computation of the velocity and acceleration of a moving body.
Dynamics is the effect of forces exerted on the body ( ex: Aerodynamic forces )

#2 Explaination:
kinematics is the description of how objects move,
Dynamics deals with force and why objects move as they do.
