I expect that they will require the same Wrench above (for SRT) as they do now, but with the ZigZag links below open on each side like the Reflex. Designing a full mechanical is no easy task, especially for SRT midline, so I appreciate ISC for the effort. It would seem that replaceable wear...
Tachyon is, in my experience, one of the best ropes for gripiness in a mechanical device. I still think a compact rope wrench style aid, with short stiff tether could be built into a reflex style device (much like the Blackbird). That being said, has anyone heard rumors of Petzl coming out...
