littermaid.. is it really broken?

HEY.. why is it that you have to manually turn your littermaid on.. does it go back n forth? If so.. I may have the solution.

I took the sensor stick out. I think it was going too far therefore pushing the stick causing it to act like there was something there.

then.. it still kept doing it while after I put it back. I the problem THEN was that the thing was off track a lil bit.. I had to push it on the side where the sensor button was so it got pushed so it would stop. :D

but now, since the stick is gone.. incase akitty goes in it won't get pushed therefore won't stop and go the other way. But really.. if your kitty gets pushed by something won't they just move out of the way?
