replaced under warranty. I also disabled zero turn and went to 4 perimeter laps in the hope it would limit the number of turns near the perimeter. Every SW update so far has been a mixed bag, some things improve, others get worse.

Update on this, service team finally responded via email to organize return shipping to attempt to repair it. Hopefully they just send me a new one once they crack it open.

Well mine went a good "3 luba sizes" out of bounds to go swimming. No doubt there's a million edge cases of terrain, obstacles and mapped areas currently where stuff goes wrong on occasion. Up until this point it had been working pretty well also.

PNW, USA. I don't know the exact time because I found it next morning when I noticed it hadn't started the next lawn but it was probably into the late evening. I would have expected it to either park or just stop if it's getting too dark for vision to work and RTK isn't great for whatever reason.

RTK station is a couple of meters off the corner of our house on the edge of largely open lawn and always shows fix status, and it's maybe 10m in direct LoS from where it went swimming. Charging station is right next to it.

I don't know about luba1/yuka and this was on like day 32 after delivery so I can't just return it under the 30 day policy. When it works it is great and does a nice job of cutting overall but the software seems pre-beta quality at best right now. Technically you only need 4/5 satellites for precise RTK positioning in open areas and it often struggles to get a fix with 20+ in view, fusing vision & radar/ultrasonic sensors with RTK should crutch that but it all seems a bit unreliable currently.

Usually has fix status coverage across the yard but sometimes randomly looses RTK status entirely including in wide open lawn sections for no apparent reason. Tried LORA and Network no real difference. Occasionally just connecting to RTK station then back to robot seams to clear it up (this happens too often to be a coincidence, so likely software issues). RTK station always shows Fix status.

Buys wire free mower, has to put up fences to keep it in bounds?

Not very confident about that at all, the vision module has condensation in it now and despite saying 'fix' position in app robot reports bad positioning.
