Team When Yarbo heads towards the charging pad, it drives forward all the way up to the edge (for all attachments but the snow blower), then does a U-Turn to back in. This severely limits where the charging pad can be located due to simply how large Yarbo is. I moved to the Yarbo family after having my first gen Mammotion Luba 5000 die. I had its charging dock nestled in between some shrubs right off our driveway. Hard to explain without a pic, but I positioned its dock far enough back to where it was secluded in between the bushes for a multitude of reasons, security, general aesthetics, etc. This is not possible with Yarbo, but could easily be achieved if you could drop a pin on where to do the U-turn or, better yet, just specify to drive forward towards the dock or back in from the previous work area along the pathway. This would help SO much in my case, but I imagine others would find value here as well. Thanks, Matt ---

Been suggested here before by me at least. I need this to work for all the reasons you said too. It should smart turn in the area right before the pathway to the dock and back straight down the pathway onto the dock. ---

Exactly! Make it so, Yarbo! 🙂 ---

Yes to all especially the back in from specified orientation. They need to add an approach step to the navigation algo. Point to point with zero turns to orient is far from an elegant solution. ---
