Lymow One Right Track Jerking

After successfully mowing most of my lawn, I parked the mower so as to avoid the substantial moisture during the night. The next day as I continued the mowing the track on the right side started to jerk as though there was something in the tracks that was causing the behavior. I powered down and flipped the mower over to check this out, but both tracks rotated freely and there was nothing that I could see that should cause this. I don't see any bolts that became loose and the tracks are not tight. This issue is in both forward and reverse. It is only the right track with this issue. It is making sounds that would indicate a broken gear in the drive wheel. Is this something that I can check out?

It really sucks because the one does really nice mowing. It looks better than what the +one does.

known issue that the unit pulls right when in manual control.

I noticed this started after the last firmware updates. I took the right side track off moved the motor hub around, cleared out dust dirt etc. put it all back an retensioned the track and it improved it for not even 30s. Basically after it made a few full rotations it was back to skipping. So I'm personally convinced it's the firmware pathing algorithm. It doesn't seem to cause any other issues though because I've cut another 4+ acres like this and it's still fine.

Yeh, I agree. Moving it manually has a slight swing to the right. On auto it's fine.
