Charge path issue

Is anyone else having this issue? Lately, I've noticed my luba taking the most asinine path back to the charger while mowing. From my picture, you can see where it paused, and reasonably, it should just turn around and go to the charger. However, it choose to instead, chug up the hill in my backyard, go around the no-go zone (dirt patch on full grade, often times sliding and getting itself stuck) and then down into the "back yard" zone before going to the charger.

Hopefully a new update will come out soon resolving this, but what a major pain and one more thing I have to babysit!

Update: finished charging and went back to work and went the same way it went to charge!! WHY!?!?

First oil change question

I'm doing my first oil change. Guy at the oil store said I fill it from the top. I'm assuming I also drain it from the top? How far down do I have to go before I find the oil?

Avoiding Shadows?

Recently I've noticed that my Luba mini hasn't been getting as close to my fence as it should. I was watching it closely as it went out to work this afternoon and sure enough, it would get about 6 feet off the fence and turn around.

The only explanation I could think of is that maybe it has a hard time identifying the shadows cast by the aluminum fence and is treating it as an obstacle. I changed obstacle avoidance from standard to off and on the next pass it came right up against the fence!

Has anyone else had issues with their bot avoiding shadows? I could see that being an issue with obstacle avoidance set to sensitive, but not on standard?
