Request… have the pro mower stop and ask for help if there’s too much resistance on the spinning blades. While I got an alert that ‘grass may be blocking the blades’ when I got to the unit, I found that the Yarbo knocked over a shovel (on the edge of the permitter) and decided to dance all over the fallen shovel, stripping out the screws from the motors, leaving the blades and the blade guide on the ground.
I was able to recover the screws and use the secondary holes to re-attach, still have to determine if the motors were damaged, but concerned for how much damage was done to the blades/screws with the unit not caring that it’s trying to get into CNC activities. There is metal shavings all around the attempted shovel-murder site from the weaker metal on the disc.
So, requests
- I have to assume metal hitting metal is a lot more readable than metal cutting grass, so can some protections be put in place to detect too much resistance
- If the unit can’t use the front camera… it shouldn’t go out - it was able to navigate to the mow area, but didn’t see the shovel and knocked it over, what about other at-risk items in front of the unit?
- Can we purchase replacement blade screws and the disc that the blades attach to?
- My spare screws did not include the blade size screw, luckily using a metal detector I was able to locate all screws, they stripped metal out of the mount, but the screws remained perfect.
