Yes, you draw a line on the boundary just like a snow throw zone.

Thought I saw somewhere that the Trimmer has been delayed and The August ship date is no longer valid. Is this confirmed?
What. Again. 
There was a post on FB in a question to Yarbo and their response was that there is a delay and an announcement is being drafted.
Why am I not surprised? I did buy one from the start but was not expecting to be able to use it this year. But I have to say that they replaced my mower after I had issues so they honor the warranty and acknowledge issues. But they need to be more careful with their presales and then delaying everything after. Their customers put in their own money and as a company you need to respect your promises otherwise you will loose customers. I love Yarbo and how it works but we have to acknowledge you need to be a little bit of a geek to deal with all the issues, delays and bad communication. I will keep supporting them but more less geeky customers might be turned off

For the trimmer they are an industry first. It was bound to have a few delays. I’d much rather wait for a better product than have it rushed to market. It’s much harder to fix problems when it’s in the hands of customers

I am doing exactly that.
We spaded in about 50 4’ diameter tree spade machine dug Scotch Pines. They are trees averaging about 12’ -16’ tall and trunk diameter 4 inches or less
We put half inch drip-line underground trenched in irrigation on a 2-wire system.
Some or many of the irrigation black tubes come out too far out of the 4 foot diameter tree spade line.
The trees were transplanted Nov 2025. Now is Aug 2026.
My solution was to quickly add more no-go zones on top of the first ones - adding a small circle and offsetting it to the direction of the offending black irrigation tube coming out of the ground about 5.5 feet away from the middle (tree trunk).
So yah - it’s laborious to switch off the no-go zone and then redo it, manually by driving - so this solution kind of works, but it still has a problem which is that I cannot make a no-go zone circle with radius less than 3.2’. That’s a 6.4 foot diameter circle - a bit too large for my scotch pines.
I put down some cheap non woven brown mulch sheets around these trees. 30” diameter. I am working on sourcing some 4 foot or larger diameter coconut coir mulch rings. The black irrigation half inch line is perforated every 10 or 12 inches. A circle loop goes around each tree.
So the Key point here is that I need to modify the shape of the no-go zones. It would be nice to have the simple polygon dots stuff for no go zone creation. Why not add this to the software please? Look at “Ring” cameras - they have the same thing for camera automatic “area of interest” and you have to make or draw a polygon. Let’s see this update by next month Yarbo software wizards ok?

They can’t even fix damaging behavior they’ve been tracking since the spring.
Don’t hold your breath. Keep looking for and sharing hacks.

My first guess is that whatever software dead reckoning upgrade is in the works needs to be finished and vetted first. Without accuracy AND precision, the trimmer could be destructive and embarrassing.

No doubt there are software issues to address but the decision, I believe, was mostly on the hardware enhancements.

Just playing with the blower and experiencing the battery longevity I doubt the system can handle 2 attachments without additional battery support. I run my blower on medium and I can get about 20% of my 39,000 sqft done on a 100%-20% battery run. The 4 hour run time of the plan takes in reality with multiple charges about 8-10 hours. I just don’t have enough guts to subject neighbors to 24/7 Yarbo.

I’m not looking to use it on the yard but rather driveway, sidewalks, patio after mowing. Also don’t care if it needs to recharge in the middle of that either.

I think it would be problematic having both the mower and blower attached simultaneously.
First of all, the entire stack would be extremely heavy. That would cause even more wear and tear on the grass.
Second, the entire stack would be comically large length wise. Yarbo already has trouble turning in tight areas. Imagine the increased difficulty if you add another module behind it. Good luck getting around tight no go zones, following the contour of your yard perimeter, etc.

Wouldn’t be a problem in my yard but I can see your point for some yards. It would definitely need to factor its full kit (size and geometry) into the path planning algorithm.
