Hi.
I have hard time adjusting the Groot mouth switches on Guardians of the Galaxy.
occasionally the mouth will not open fully, making it impossible to start multiball.
The way to solve this is apparently to adjust the switches, but I have still not managed to get them adjusted in a way that completely eliminates this problem.
Anybody else experiencing this? I'm wondering if this is an unreliable design, or perhaps the switch is just bad.

Here is a video demonstrating the issue.

One switch will not register sometimes making the motor go to far and close the jaw a bit. I've tried to bend the leaf to adjust several times.

After some more testing, I found that the Switch (micro roller actuator #180-5119-02) was not working right. It registered only about 4 of 5 times even when the micro button was pushed directly. I replaced the switch and the Groot mouth works perfectly again.
