Before switching to TinyMobileRobots, game day preparation was an all-hands-on-deck job that took hours. Nick used to spend nearly four hours getting the field ready — manually pushing a paint machine, cleaning it afterward, trimming edges, and setting out flags. Now, with the TinyMobileRobot, that same process takes about two hours total. The difference? While the robot paints the field, there’s time to handle all the other details that make game day shine.
“I can set it up, get it going, and then take care of everything else while the field is being painted."
For Fairbanks High School, ensuring the fields are always ready — no matter the weather or volunteer turnout — is essential. With TinyMobileRobots, they no longer worry about rain delays or last-minute scheduling changes. Even if it rains on a Wednesday, they can still paint crisp, game-ready lines just an hour before kickoff. The robot’s accuracy and reliability guarantee professional-quality lines for both game and practice fields every time.
The robot has also made an unexpected impact beyond sports. During marching band season, field setup once required tape measures, stakes, and ropes — a process repeated week after week. Now, the robot handles it in minutes. It’s even customizable enough to switch hash marks between high school and college layouts for events like performances at The Ohio State University.
