Hi legalize_it...

This Jason is from the same 'pedigree' but is the 3rd generation in that line. The Titanic ROV was small and deployed from the submersible Alvin. It weighed a few hundred pounds. This one weighs in at 8000 lbs. The 2 hydraulic arms are capable of breaking most rocks and can carry 250 lbs of payload. It is rated to work at 6500 meters depth. There is a good summary of Jason at: Jason photo and summary

Take care...

Jim
