Here is another system that works with PC, You would have to figure out the code to control your manipulator device and how much of a delay would be involved when using the device. I am not sure how much time and funding was involve with your device, it is still a great idea, just I believe in not re-inventing the wheel if there's one already out there to use.

The cost at the time of the post for the device was approximately $79.00.
Try to adapt an existing device, if available, saves time, time is money.
As we all know we do not have alot of time during build season, but this could be tested in the off-season.
Do not give up, keep working on it, teams have been trying for several seasons to adapt a hand control.
