Oh some other things bothering me re-watching footage: It doesn’t turn chute while adjusting bucket at the end of a row, it has to wait for chute sometimes when it really shouldn’t need too, but also travels sometimes while adjusting the chute shooting snow where it shouldn’t go. Chute aim is incorrect on perimeter passes often. The dock clearing power is set to ~balanced? Should this be adjustable? What if there’s slushy snow that requires turbo? Inherit the power level from the path leading to the dock? ---

Yeah, that’s a lot of snow. No thanks. I just watched Yarbo clear the walkway in front of the house. Thanks to the drifts, there was about a foot of snow there. Cleared it without a problem. ---

Thanks for sharing such a detailed update and for taking the time to document your experience. We understand how frustrating these conditions can be, especially with wet, refrozen snow and strong winds. Regarding the snow blowing direction issues you mentioned, our team is currently working on an optimization aimed at improving performance in certain scenarios, and we hope this will help address some of the behavior you’re seeing. As for your suggestion about the dock clearing power, I’ll be sure to pass that feedback along to our product team for review. We really appreciate you sharing these insights—they’re very helpful as we continue to improve the system. ---

Ugg, the routing was being funny again yesterday so I tried to manually drive to the driveway and took a “shortcut” through one of the unplowed areas…crazy how insulating the snow is as I hit resume almost to the driveway and Yarbo decided to zero-turn as the first maneuver and sunk immediately🫠. Guess I’ll have to rescue him tonight when we get home🫣 ![Screenshot_20260101-083414](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/7/7da84ecd615009c1349823373ea9e0a4123fb810.jpeg) ---

That spin to sink maneuver is indeed effective. 😉 ---

I was testing slope mode the other day, sorta successfully and it tried that and I was curious how long it would try…it sat there trying to turn for over 20 minutes 🫠🫠 [![Google Photos](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/e/e51eb25b1e569adba88cb387dc9fd4b48c18f3bd.jpeg "2 new photos · Tuesday, Dec 30, 2025 📸") ](https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPIEZoW8EmF5nLhhOLdHoBbL1EOOQYEdSounoLoVxweEj9nMsklyh8ekXIDrNNr_g?key=WGxXUnlDbDRNbGZxbkh2SnZBNjVfdDhFLUhnX2dn) ---

OK this last one was more reasonable…😅 ![Screenshot_20260104-212417](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/d/d2e93c2ea199ea278adbfb1e89640ce533190561.png) Did OK had to physically rescue it twice, and manually drive it a bunch😅 Have I ever mentioned 0 turns suck? It was struggling to dock a little so I went and chipped all the ice building up at the bottom of the dock too. One of the drive wheels had a nice layer of ice on it this morning so I chipped that off gently…core swap in progress ![PXL_20260105_165615481](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/5/5212f0c7cda002f3079d41f366f05706cbe04b90.jpeg) ![PXL_20260105_131922197.MP](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/f/f98e4678f1e770e611431eb722fcbea6bfd84ba0.jpeg) ![PXL_20260105_131915239.MP](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/d/da79371f0389a3e1054a93863093219ff5be4404.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20260105-003816](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/c/c07c1387a473e5af1813711af47a871823b0aac6.png) ![PXL_20260105_052529981](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/f/f22bf0034d1a17eaacc5542ec34a1d841bf9409a.jpeg) ---

Oh and the ~49W was when the Yarbo said it was charging but it wasn’t really, it would show charging and not alternating about every 5 seconds until I drove it off the dock and hit recharge again. Then it jumped to the ~600W ---

You really need a doghouse for that dock!! Wow, that’s a lotta snow. Crazy! It’s warm in my side of the state this week. No snow at all this week while I’m in Vegas. Just muggy and rain. ---

Here’s the crazy stuff it was doing in slope mode…I put a couple notable comments in the “captions"/description [![Google Photos](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/0/033a72c428a74340064a9fc1db8b136aecbf4cb3.jpeg "3 new videos · Wednesday, Jan 7 🎬") ](https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPWpd8hS3F8Nb4SEsbdza7A3lev7NKVGW0DqokcWnEEj5f_QLpCfYE8JrnXhzezgA?key=dzVXQkU5ODltSS05OVBKNnpxR1BaTjNHdmNCVUlB) It was fairly successful though, I think I only had to rescue it physically twice…ended up doing most of the driveway with mega Yarbo, since the neighbor needed some cleared too. ---

Wife parked a bit funny and Yarbo hit his own estop😅, also still skipping a bunch even though it did the perimeter pass perfectly around the van. Obstacle avoidance is so close.

Got lucky it didn’t snap the HaLow antenna. I think it just wanted a break. If robots are getting lazy too, I guess we’ll have to build them something to do their work too! 😂 ---

Ran pretty good the last couple snows, at least for the driveway area. Have a support call scheduled for tomorrow ~11am, about the out of boundary errors popping up in zones with overlapping objects. Hopefully that’s mostly before the storm sets in​😁 ![Screenshot_20260115-145846](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/0/0beb6e1923b1c40c21caafa480e964b68facb4c8.png) ---

I’ve got one area where Yarbo sometimes hits his estop on the fence. Just annoying. Once about every 15 runs. (Mowing) [Previous page](https://forum.yarbo.com/t/redemption-opportunity/4850.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.yarbo.com/t/redemption-opportunity/4850.md?page=3)
