The manipulator mount problem is easy in concept to solve, but it adds weight. The main base of the manipulator would have to be fully supported by one of the frame segments (forward or rear) and the angled supports that attach to the opposite frame segment would have to be broken up into two parts that attached to a gas shock or compression spring in a "Y" formation. So rather than seeing one solid bar for the angle support, we would see a "Y" with the compression spring/shock forming the base of the Y. Note, not a "T" formation because a "T" wouldn't allow the frame to flex up
and down.
CoG and stability would have to be tweaked, but it is definitely possible.
