This mode is quite useful for lawns that have regions of high grass and/or grass is not that smooth.
Level 2:
The advantage of this mode is that LUBA does not touch the obstacle and will turn around once something is
detected. The disadvantage is that even very small regions of grass higher than 7 cm (approx. 2.75 inches)
