We saw the same effect.
Our station is the low cost wood design. The tote slides down a ramp surface of masonite, which is probably not the same as the plastic in an official station. Has anyone tried this with an official station?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
