Yarbo isn’t going to get to play this weekend, poor guy😅 Wonder if I set up a patrol route to run nearly constantly it could just pack the snow down? :joy: [Screenshot_20251212-130027]

I’m sure they have filtering, and it’ll go off IMU/other PPVS parameters until the GPS signals agree.

Backup and getting stuck with zero turns :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile: There are a few minor hardware updates, same model number though and no REV numbers that I could see except on the motor. Might post about the changes tomorrow. [image]

It has been really windy here all day though. [Google Photos] [PXL_20251220_185306764]

Added a short video when the belt broke…sounds like it’s working ok and the belt just finally lets loose and the auger slowly decels to 0
