If the Food Growth Chamber model is built correctly, then the gray weight
at the top should tip backwards when moving the Push Bar, and then drop
back toward the Push Bar side and rest on top of the horizontal gray
beams. At rest, the gray weight is in a vertical position.

The scoring condition is that the gray weight has dropped back to the south
(toward the Push Bar), *after* the Green panel has passed under the weight,
but *before* the Tan panel has passed under the weight.

See the pictures for M10 in the Challenge Guide.  The two pictures labeled
"16" show the gray weight sitting on top of the horizontal beams, forming a
right angle with the horizontal beams.  The picture labeled "0" shows the
gray weight tipped back, away from the Push Bar.  It hasn't dropped back
into position yet.

There's a stop-action video at
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.youtube.com_watch-3Fv-3DlY1Z9kK71jQ-26t-3D385s&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=PACSCHsxGlhrRHSppHLD2BTlCNyUURWuvBjaSlXtNVU&s=eoGRlCg-2WkNgH09JEqLi96_oZBMeY9OD95vNbCUIpg&e=.  (Title is "Welcome to
the INTO ORBIT season - Robot Game")
It's not very helpful in showing action, but at 5:02 it shows the desired
scoring position.

Each time the gray weight returns to its resting position, there's one main
color panel that is showing.  Your team wants that to be Green.  If you
hold the gray weight in its resting position, you can twitch the Push Bar
to see parts of both Green and Brown.  That's okay.
