Back-and-forth mowing pattern

Suggestion and Feature Requests
1

The main reason I purchased the Yarbo was to mow my steep 26-degree hill. Depending on the turn settings, Yarbo at the top of the hill either tears up the turf, skips significant areas of the lawn, or does a bit of both.

can we have a back-and-forth cutting pattern? That is, Yarbo would go up the hill and come back down along the same track without turning. This approach would slightly increase the job duration, but since it reduces the number of turns, it wouldn’t take twice as long. More importantly, it would preserve the turf and ensure full coverage of the lawn.

By keeping the core unit always facing downhill, this method should also help reduce or eliminate the “Hold My Beer” or “Wheelie” situations like this: Yarbo as a drunken sailor going downhill

Thank you for your suggestion! We’re currently working on improving the slope mowing algorithm, and your idea for a back-and-forth cutting pattern is very insightful.

I’ve shared your feedback with our product team for consideration. We truly appreciate your input and support as we continue enhancing Yarbo’s performance on challenging terrain!

I think you mean keeping the unit always facing uphill? That way you don’t get wheelies going back up hill.
Also thanks for submitting this idea. My 50+ parallel deadends solution is a workaround, and hard to map. This would work great for my hills for sure, cause that is what I have the deadends doing now.
So I wholeheartedly sanction this idea and request the feature also!!
