That’s what I assumed. So I built my plans to ensure that I would never start one near their end point.
When I do my testing tomorrow, I’ll try starting the plans while Yarbo is close to where they end.
I’ve shared your feedback with our team and asked them to follow up on this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and cooperation during the troubleshooting process.
Looks like at 4am the support team is going to take another crack at playing with my rover and trimmer.
good luck with that. Do you have cameras in your yard that will capture what they do with your Yarbo?
I sure do, but I can track where is went by the grass marks. My grass is getting long but we are in a mini drought, so I don’t want to cut it. Last time I looked outside and saw it trying to dock next to the dock, I am sure that is because of the trimmer, I do not dock with it on with my dog house cover over it. I looked just as the rover backed into the front post and tried to climb it in reverse. Made me chuckle.
Same here. Mini drought. Haven’t been using Yarbo for the past week or so cause it’ll really murder the super dry grass.
And the dog shelter thing - Nope. Can’t auto dock with the trimmer attached unless you’re good with Yarbo completely destroying the shelter! lol. I really need to stop being lazy and get started building my Yarbo’s permanent shelter….
I played with mine a bit today but it was too hot and sunny to mess with it long, but I can start in near the end of the memory path facing away from it. Start the memory path, and it will zero turn 180 degrees and start up the end of the path in reverse. I can do it over and over again. I took a video of the screen of my tablet with some audio at the end explaining it. I added it to my ticket so they can see. I told them I will leave the unit parked there and all they need to do is choose that memory path plan and it will do it’s magic in reverse.
Nothing like the sound of a trimmer at 4AM to keep the neighbors on their toes. 
No neighbors close enough. But the lights on the mower woke me up last time at 4am.
I’m outside right now trying to get my Yarbo to run a memory path backwards.
So far, no luck. But will keep trying different combinations….
Maybe the trick is to go inside and not watch.
Yeah maybe his yarbo is the shy model?
My problem isn’t the driving backwards thing. It’s that Yarbo isn’t accurate enough with the Memory Paths.
It’s close, but the accuracy is variable. If I’m trying to get the trimmer right against a fence for example, the nose of Yarbo’s mower needs to be 3-4 inches away from the fence. And sometimes Yarbo accidentally gets too close and the bumper impacts the fence which causes Yarbo to do silly things to get unstuck.
And the issue is worse when you’re trying to follow the contour of something that isn’t straight, like a curved flowerbed border or something cause the entire Yarbo stack is so long.
I want to try using the SAM but I am chicken to change modules back and forth and next thing you know you have connection issues. But yeah, yarbo and mower makes it a big ox to move around.
I am too lazy to change modules back and forth.
I haven’t touched the SAM module in a long time. Maybe not since Waypoints was released last year.
That could be my issue too, lol.
Funny thing yesterday I was going to put the trimmer on, yarbo was in the dog house. Just a few days ago I put and took the trimmer off for support techs. So yesterday I was right behind the rover and I looked to my left and about pooped my pants. Take a look…
Wow, that’s a good sized nest. A testament to how little noise the core makes. Last year I was running my zero turn around some of the edges that the core misses and doing a steep ditch (100% slope) that I don’t want to use Yarbo on, I pucker using the zero turn on it. I felt a sharp pain in my leg. I looped back around and saw a swarm of yellow jackets flying up from the edge of the lawn from a hole in the ground, pretty angry. That made me really appreciate my Yarbo. I gave that spot a wide berth and then remote controlled the mower pro right over the hole and engaged the blades. They were bouncing off Yarbo madder than hell. But, I got them all. Hasn’t been an issue since.
I hate them buggers. I used 3 and a half cans of spray, and tore the nest down with a 12’ pole. The next is actually bigger than it seems, it is all the way up to the bottom of the mini split
