I didn't see it break, but when something is clicked too quickly it can cause an overwrite and the elements can get into the wrong starting position. You can always make a timeline and play/reverse on click. 

 

You could also check if something is tweening and prevent additional clicks by using the isActive() or TweenMax.isTweening() methods.

Happy tweening.

PS Your pen is using an old version of GSAP (1.18.0). I know it's confusing as it says latest, but if you use the Quick-add drop down in CodePen, you should get the current version. 2.0.1.

You should create single timeline with all tweens as PointC sayed ^ for better control but I dont recommend to use reverse, instead, create another "reverse" timeline and manage state using internal variable (it's simpler than adding/removing classes to DOM element). After that you have several options when state changes:

 

1. block state change if some of timelines is active.

2. kill() or finish opposite active timeline and start target state change timeline.

3. combine timelines, but it's not needed as it is only two states.. (on/off)

 

also, you can re-create timelines every time instead of using same timeline instances (they will overwrite each other as they use same targets) but you have to hold those instances in memory for further checks.
