I didn't watch the video. This computer is too slow.
So would it work for hauling? My bro, who is a mechanical engineer, was asking recently why there wasn't a mechanical device to help with hauling. Is this it?

Here's your Tactical Pneumatic Launch system... shoots a rope 120 feet.

Looks like on their web site, it will lift two dudes...should be able to haul with it.

"The ATLAS Ascender, originally designed for use in urban combat and cave exploration by the US Army, offers unparalleled benefits in many different scenarios. Its powerful lifting capacity can directly hoist fully-loaded soldiers or firefighters at unprecedented speeds. Utilizing the ATLAS with standard rescue equipement can magnify its capacity even more, enabling effective lifting and towing capacities in excess of 1,000 lbs."
