Thousands of Dollars Saved in Just 3 Minutes
In Pennsylvania, we spoke with Sam Griggs, the Executive Director of 1776 United FC. He told us a story of how the TinyMobileRobot Pro X helped save a one-day tournament by rescuing the '76ers from a poor-quality field in a matter of minutes. Plus, get a peek at our Custom Logo feature in action at the end of the video!

Before TinyMobileRobots, setting up fields each week meant long hours of planning and manual labor. Every game week started with questions: What fields do we need? When are the games? Where are they scheduled? Once the TinyMobileRobot arrived, everything changed. Now, the process is simple — open the tablet, choose the fields, set the dimensions, and let the robot take care of the rest. The days of measuring tape, stakes, and guesswork are over.

“Within 3 minutes, we had a problem that would have cost us thousands of dollars in refunds. 20 minutes later, we had a new field lined, goals out, and ready to go."
The financial impact was just as impressive. When presenting the idea to the board, the savings spoke for themselves. The cost of owning a TinyMobileRobot came out to about half of what the club had been spending on labor each year, not to mention additional paint savings. It was an easy decision. “It wasn’t a long board meeting,” the customer shared. “It wasn’t a hard sell.”
The real game-changer came during a major one-day tournament using 20 fields. The day before the event, one school field was found unsafe — holes in the surface, unplayable conditions. Canceling games would have meant thousands in refunds. Instead, with the TinyMobileRobot, the team simply measured a new space, adjusted the layout in the tablet, and within 20 minutes had a new field painted and ready to go. What could have been a crisis turned into a seamless save.
Now, the club paints only the fields they actually use, adjusting layouts easily for different formats — 7v7, 4v4, or even 3v3 — based on sign-ups each week. They can also move younger teams to better-quality surfaces by redrawing fields to fit perfectly. The results speak for themselves: crisp, clean, professional-looking fields that stand out. Sometimes, for special events, they even paint the club’s name, 1776 United, directly onto the turf. As the customer put it best, “It looks nice. It looks really clean. It looks accurate.”
