How to build a slug for two dependent conveyors?

Hi all,

In the attached model, I want the primary conveyors to build a slug of boxes and send them to the secondary conveyors in a round robin fashion.

If all the conveyors operate independently, the attached model can simulate this scenario using the code in the decision points.

However, the hard part is that, I want the conveyors (both primary and secondary) to be coupled. In fact, they represent two lanes of flowitems on a single conveyor.

Assuming that the slug size is 6, first I want to send 6 boxes to the first couple of secondary conveyors (these 6 boxes are combination of red and brown boxes and it doesn't matter how many are red and how many are brown). Then, I want to do the same for the second couple of secondary conveyors.

I really appreciate your help.
