I'm still looking for a good existing example of horizontal paddles with rotating wrist that competes with the chopstick idea. Most examples are restricted to known geometry, but I still think the chopsticks would be beaten by a pair of paddles every time (presuming similar control software).

I mean - imagine tying those chopsticks to your forearms and trying to manipulate boxes - it would be hard enough for a human. Much easier if tied two rubberised rackets to forearms?!
