Follow me mode speed

I love the follow me mode. It’s a great tool for working in the yard. The issue I have is that my walking pace is slightly too fast and I have to constantly stop and go back to yarbo because I get too far from it and it loses me. Would you be able to speed up yarbo by 25% or so? That way it can keep up with me. Thanks. I love this machine!!!

I like this, but speed in ALL modes should be able to be set by the user. I’ve only tried Follow Me once, but I actually used it while I was sitting on my tractor. It worked to some extent, but I did lose the Rover a number of times and had to circle back. Whether that was speed or problems with recognition I’m not sure. Another experiment I plan on doing is using Follow Me using one of my RC trucks - I don’t know that there is any useful application of that, other than it sounds like great fun! :smile:

25%? ROOKIE NUMBERS!

“Follow Me” should really keep up with you at your speed, match if you slow down, then slow more if getting close. Eventually STOP, but that’s optional, apparently.

I’m big in to RC also. It would be fun to use this as an RC tank :rofl:. In all seriousness though, I think what is happening is it loses me because I get to far away because it can’t keep up. If I walk at a slow pace it stays with me. If my wife is walking by me it gets really confused and freaks out. It doesn’t know who to follow.

It has definitely ran in to me also haha. But it usually stops. I agree 25% increase might still be a bit slow. I’m just not sure what the motors and speed controller are capable of handling.
