Right before it reaches the end of a sidewalk the bot starts adjusting the chute to point forward. If the throw direction is set to the left or right why does the chute get adjusted to throw it forward? Just keep it pointed in the direction of the snow throw area. This happened on all six of my sidewalks.

Hi there, in some situations, the snow-blowing direction algorithm still needs improvement. I’ve already passed your case along to our team for further review. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

It might be nice if forward was also an alternative throwing direction for sidewalks.
In related feedback, I’ve noticed sometimes when yarbo is driving in an area (with the default pattern) towards the throwing direction it will throw to one of the sides instead of forwards, this seems like it should not happen.

I’m pretty sure it you don’t specify a throw direction it throws it forward.

Correct, no direction defined should make it throw forward.

How at this point can the algorithm still need improvement? Wasn’t the snow blower your starting business? At what point do you decide that you are short staffed and/or need someone that understands how to run an engineering department so these issues can get fixed faster?

Valid observation.

Hopefully we will see stability and maturity on the software side throughout 2026.
