Meet the Turf Tank, our GPS-enabled painting robot. Lining athletic fields with this tech-savvy team member isn’t just about precision—it saves 50% of paint compared to traditional field striping methods, thanks to consistent spraying and precise application. 🌳 Plus, it allows our maintenance crew to tackle other important park projects.
💬 Glenview, we need your help to name the Turf Tank! Drop your suggestions in the comments and stay tuned to vote for your favorite.
