PITCH & LINE MARKERS
We want to teach our staff new skills and using and understanding the latest technology is very much part of Eton College ’ s ethos . I ’ m very much won-over and very impressed with the Turf Tank One line-marking robot .
“ The other factor was the base station . You read a lot about the pros and cons , but to be honest as soon as I saw how it interacted with the machine , and how much more accurate the marking was , compared to those without using a base station , the whole team were like ‘ it ’ s a no brainer , isn ’ t it ?’ It blew us away , to be fair , and we bought the Turf Tank , and we now have base station points installed across the site , and it has worked really , really well .
“ The Turf Tank records templates for initial marking and subsequent over-marking . Being able to get those templates was a significant point for us and nothing has been out of the remit of the robot . We ’ ve got most of the pitches loaded up now , including where the goals are actually smaller than a football goal , but we ’ ve managed to get the robot between the two posts and mark . Everything we ’ ve asked for has happened , and it has been great
“ We want to teach our staff new skills and using and understanding the latest technology is very much part of Eton College ’ s ethos . I ’ m very much won-over and very impressed with the Turf Tank One line-marking robot . And if I were to move anywhere else , it is one of the first things I ’ d want to have in my fleet .”
