It's an amazing device. We use it here since many years for mountaineering, especially in the rescue operation of a crevasse fall, but also for rappelling. Your description is perfect. I would only add for beginners to pay care on the fact that the Robot must always be used under tension on the rope(s). If it gets loose on the rope(s) (= tension fading away), the central grey latch can pivot on a side and it simply comes out of the rope system (=danger !).
