Considering the fact that Slope Detection is not something that everyone needs it should be a user initiated mode! Have Slope Detection as a on/off option per user’s needs!

Hopefully the current slope algorithm will be refined and won’t be necessary to slow down so much long term. This option wouldn’t need to exist if it’s only a temporary stop gap.

Thanks for your feedback! I’ll pass your suggestion to the relevant team. We’ll also continue to optimize the slope mowing performance to better suit user needs.

Maybe give us cut and paste multiple parallel deadends so we can cut slopes until you have a better slope algorithm? Some this season would be very welcome!!
Right now slope cutting autonomously is not good for \>30 degrees…

> Feature suggestion: Deadend Area I have several pockets I need to mow on my property. Often these are dead-ended and are hemmed in by shrubs, fences, the pool, and so on, where if you mapped it as an Area with a border tucked in there or a big Area with No-go Zones, the rover would be unable to turn or get close to the edges of the pocket to do a more complete mowing job. The workaround is to map an Area in that pocket with a “best effort” – if you can – and add Deadends for anything the rov…

Absolutely Ken! An even easier (software job) of doing this is a small edit to your picture. Just map ONE deadend, and cut and paste N number of added deadends to the right or left of the one you just drew.

Caveat - if the left-side vs halow-side matters, there’s a chance that this idea might only be reliable from the direction opposite of that image.
Maybe not, but the offset of the primary position point might matter.

Agreed but dead ends don’t force the left antenna rule. As long as it works reliably, there shouldn’t be an issue doing it in that direction.
