Well, I ordered the Pro + blower package and didnt realize the mower delivery was going to be over a month away, so ordere the M1 mower to use until the pro’s shipped. It will arrive tomorrow.
Have made a couple of rough map areas, just to play and even set up a blower map to sweep the drive.
So the neighbor shows up and is asking all the questions. We played wiht the follow me function. Not too impressed. then had it run an area I had set up. I guess just a security pass. It ran up to an large object in the yard. “Cool let’s watch it navigate it” Nope, Yarbo trys to go over the obstacle and proceeds to flip over onto its back. Taking out one of the antennas.
I’ve had it for five days and it’s broke. I’ve ordered parts.
For security patrols with the SAM, it uses the concept of a pathway and pathways are trusted conduits so to speak. Obstacle avoidance in a pathway is still in beta. What was the obstacle that it didn’t halt for?
Broke one the first day. Received replacement (took a week). Broke a second 3 days later… But I had ordered spares… I cleaned my lawn and drew a few no go zones around low hanging cables or branches I did not want to cut. No break since (about 3 weeks now…)
No signal change with either solution. They’re just plastic and you can choose the filament to print with if you want. The flexible ones need TPU which can be difficult to print and seem to work the best, though the orange stabilizer ones protected very well against some very hard hits (as you can see in the photo).
I broke mine on the first mow under some low hanging pine trees. Largely my fault as I missed these during my no go mapping. I opted for the 3d print as in your first pic. Been happy with them and feel it adds much needed antenna protection. I firmly believe this is a design flaw. Too many people with broken antenna…
