At Edgewater High School in Florida, painting athletic fields used to take an entire crew of volunteers several hours per field. A full football field could take up to four hours to complete, even with a good-sized team. With TinyMobileRobots, everything changed. What once required ten people for football and multiple volunteers for soccer or lacrosse can now be handled by just one person. The robot has completely streamlined the process, saving valuable time and cutting down on the need for extra help.
“Everybody loves the idea that they can press a button, use a tablet, walk away, and it's going do the job for you - and it's just perfect."
For the school, this shift has made a huge impact. When unexpected rain used to hit before Friday night lights, there was no way to re-stripe in time. Now, a single staff member can set up the robot and let it paint perfect lines — no big crew needed. The time savings have been dramatic, and so have the financial ones. The school estimates it’s saving over $2,000 a year in paint alone, plus countless volunteer hours. And perhaps best of all, the athletic director jokes that his wife appreciates it too — because he’s not out late on Sundays and Wednesdays finishing up field work.
Setting up fields is easier than ever. From football to flag football, all it takes is a few taps on the tablet to choose hash marks, numbers, or goal lines. In just 20 to 30 minutes, the robot plots and paints everything with precision, then cleans itself and returns to its crate. The results speak for themselves: crisp, professional-looking lines that look even better under the lights. Fans, referees, and visiting teams have all noticed the difference.
