“ Getting the robot was quite innovative for us ,” Pete says . “ We now take the Tiny Sport to mark out twice a week at each site – it ’ s used on the first team training ground on a Monday and Thursday , and the academy on a Tuesday and Friday .
If there ’ s only one lad at the academy site , he can just set it off while he gets on with the cutting or vertidraining - it ’ s definitely helping us a lot .”
When the Tiny Sport arrived , Pete and his team had a ‘ hands-on ’ training day and were shown how to use the accompanying tablet , access the football pitch templates and how to plot bespoke pitch markings .
Pete continues . “ Now all the pitch templates are stored in the tablet for each site , if we ever lose one – for example , if we were cutting and didn ’ t mark it , we know we can put the robot back out and it will mark it up from scratch within half an hour – it ’ s so easy ,” Pete says , adding that he also uses IMPACT paint for vibrant lines .
