It seems like they might have missed something. I didn't see any "slap testing" in the video. It looked like they were checking one of the chopstick arms for something. Maybe they were checking the bouncing movements when it stops. The heavy arms have a lot of inertia, so stopping them suddenly will require a lot of energy. The rebound motion could be a concern, as the rocket needs a stable surface to land on.
