Pulling from lists

Hi I've been trying to make a model of an operator that pulls a random item from the queue using push and pull commands from a list but it does not seem to be working as intended. Is there a better way of doing this to randomly release things from the queue or what am I doing wrong?

See if this model does what you're expecting: push-and-pull-from-list-to-rack.fsm

I changed two things.

First, instead of using an on entry trigger to push the item to a list, I changed it so that the "Send To Port" option in the Flow tab of Properties is what is pushing the item.

Second, I changed the pull requirement to pull based on a random order.

You can always view the entries on a list to check and see if your model is behaving correctly.
