You have not followed the answer in this post about using process flow as far as I can see.

You either need to use the storage system example in that post, or maintain your own list of items across all the racks and randomly select/pull 10 from there.

If you want the transporter to pick up 10 items you have to set its capacity to 10. If you want to control which ones it picks up (without process flow) you can look at the breakTo options on the transporter.

If you use process flow you will have more control and power to do more complex things.
