John Burns' Real-World Testing and Ingenious Modifications- cover image
This visit was particularly exciting, as we conducted a vehicle avoidance test together, putting Yarbo’s obstacle detection to the test. Watching Yarbo smoothly navigate around the vehicle showcased its adaptability and precision in real-world scenarios, reinforcing the advancements in our technology.

A Heartwarming Visit with Furry Friends

Beyond the technical testing, what truly made this visit special was the presence of John’s two incredibly adorable dogs. Their playful curiosity about Yarbo added a fun and heartwarming touch to the experience. Seeing how Yarbo integrates into our users’ daily lives—including their pets—reminds us of the joy and convenience our product brings to households.
 

Auger Guard Installation Hack

Upon receiving his unit, John experimented with flipping the auger guard upside down during installation. This adjustment allowed him to retain the entire guard while maintaining enough clearance at the bottom for effective snow intake, improving both safety and performance.
