Sitting doesn't seem unallowed.
OR perhaps the postural chairs with angles seats and weight taken
partially only on knees (may not suit).

Sitting lowers cofg which probably helps stability BUT reduces moment
of inertia of balaning "arm" which is probably less good. posture
movement to control speed may be annoying (eg perhaps dipping toso
forwards), but  you MAY be able to substitute some input into the
controller from a joystick with body posture also added. ie you
unbalance the control loop to get it to do the work andf change angle.
May be dangerously counterintuitive when you have joystick and torso
movement interacting :-).
