What type of knotting skills do you have or even like to resort to with whipping, lashings & splicing. Should a Techie get involved, be able to perform, use them &or why?
Is one of the oldest & still the best method. [It goes way back to the Greeks & Romans - if not beyond. Yet we are still using a very similar counterweight system today] A person operating hemp lines & feeling the movement, can't as yet be replicated. Not surprisingly it is also a lot faster to set/adjust the deads, to control the speed &/or feel/avoid foul ups that can easily occur.
