Multiple Routings and Racking Issues

I am trying to create a work cell with multiple routings for different products. I have been pretty successful in creating logic for the laser machine and unloading, and storing these pallets in a rack, but when trying to then create a task sequence for the transporter to pick up a specific item from the rack, i get errors saying the task sequence is not valid. and to use Profile task sequence.

I also have problems when creating the tasks further down the line using decide and trying to sample objects in the simulation.

Can anyone take a look at this model, and see if I am going about the problem the right way?

Okay - it's better I think to store references to objects in the list rather than the NSCItemID, since you'll need pointers to the pallet or its contents in order to create jobs that move them. The NSCItemID can be stored as a label on the pallet. Attached is an updated model.
