Arranging the cable around an obstacle in this way is a mistake in my experience. Even in the manual this is incorrectly described. If the robot, returning to the base, rides the loop around this tree it will loop itself. It will drive around until battery gone because the 2 wires laid in parallel are for the robot as if they are not there so for the robot the area around the tree is a closed circle with no exit to the base. The area will be protected, but how is the robot supposed to leave from here in return to base mode?
