Basic FR Blocking Last Item From Entering

Hello,

I am attempting to add to the "BasicFR1Process" logic developed by @Jason Lightfoot on the reference question linked below. I have added a new object process flow named "BasicFR1 Process_AlmostWorks" with zone logic that allows 2 rotors to be processed at a time with the intention of the red processor being utilized internal to the green processor. My logic appears to be working until the very last rotor. Then the red processor enters the blocked state and the Object Process flow is unable to complete the receive rotor task.

I'm pretty sure there is something relatively simple that I am missing, but I cannot seem to figure it out. Please advise.

Model: rotorcnc-combineseparate-JE_Edit.fsm

Thank you,

Here's the original model modified to release all the items at once - which is fine since the processor will throttle the flow. We need to manage the receiveitem calls so that each entry triggers another receiveitem - so I placed the zone around that activity.
