OnBelay 1 spring-loaded 1 braking rotary-damped 2 lowering 2
initial high friction lowering mechanism tested with 50 lbs rotary damper mechanism successful with human weight testing
challenges tighter tolerances for 1 switching modes 1 minimize rope drag in 2 normal use 2
next steps develop looks-like model accomodate various weights lowering activation methods
