Yes, our composter also jams. Just from casual observation, it seems it is possible to insert the compost puck too far into the gears, which makes it jam or stall. If the puck is just easily inserted/dropped into the composter, it seems less likely to jam. (Just my theory.)
It seems there are a lot of steps to resetting this particular model, but it is a cool little mechanism!

We are also having that problem sometimes.  Is that happening for anyone else?
Thanks,SonyaCoach of the Brick Dawgs

Hello,  On our practice table, we are occasionally having problems with the composter stalling before it dispenses the puck.  I'm guessing that this is a model build issue, but if this were to happen in the tournament, how would the judges handle it?
Thanks,Frank Levine
