KNOWN ISSUES
The device is reliable but there are some smaller issues that happen very rarely which is why i DONT RECCOMENT LEAVING THE DEVICE UNATTENDED (Leaving the room)
as long as you are near it you can let it run by itself
- Screws dont align properly in the Rail if multiple screws drop down at the same time → Requires Manual fix
- Screws dont get picked up properly from the rotator. manually rotating the rotator back usually fixes this
- Screws dont roll out as intended from the rotator to the ramp
- Screws are too short and tip over on the ramp (too short screws will not work)
