Not sure if this has been discussed before, but i made a few adjustments to the rear diverter that is part of the mechanic robot mech. Mine from out of the box didnt seem to want to return to rest. It would go up fine but on the way back down would often get stuck half way making the left ramp impossible to pass.

So i had a quick look and fitted a stronger spring to the mechanism. The original actually already had 2 smaller (pop bumper type) on it doubled up, os i used a longer & thicker slingshot/kickback type spring. Also added alittle drop of 3 in 1 oil to lubricate the metal bushing and plunger. Seems to have sorted it out a treat.

Hopefully this is useful for other dialed in owners if not already discussed .

before, getting stuck, note the gap tot he cam.
