Combiner is not loading while input is free

hi, I have an issue with my combiner during the simulation. In the beginning, the process works as respected but after input 8 is picked up by the robot there is something strange happening, while at the beginning of the simulation the combiner collects 8 flow items after the robot is ready with loading. After input 8 is picked up by the robot the combiner goes in the idle state until the robot is idle. Why does this happen? And how can I fix this problem? See 0:38 in the video.

Thanks in advance!simulation robot.fsm

@Jelmer B

This works as expected. The combiner stops collecting the yellow items because it is waiting for a box from Source1 to pack them in.

If you want to fix this, decrease the inter-arrival time on Source1 and/or place queues in front of the combiner to collect the boxes and yellow items before they enter the combiner.

Hope this helps!
