The micro switches just dictate the stop positions on each end. The claws should release as soon as it starts traveling the other direction.   There was an issue with the culverts having very sharp edges.  So they didn’t drop when they should as the sort of hung on the claws. Check your culvert edges.  I just sanded mine to a smooth almost rounded edge and the culverts started dropping perfectly.  May not be your issue but a quick fix if it is.

Sean...

Maybe this does indeed have something to do with the variability, if nothing else.  I've been working with one package of the culverts...8 of them...and tonight I checked the edges.  Yep, I find some of them have burrs, sharp edges.  On my way to the workshop now to clean them up.

I believe the positioning of the micro switch is another key step.  I hope I can get some photo/dimensional help in this area, too.
