In fact, it generates enough income to cover its costs and then some. The extra income comes from logos and messages that the robot creates which are sold for sponsorships.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>\u00a36,000 revenue generated in a year<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barnstaple Rugby Club is currently in the National League 2 but aspires to join National League 1. As budgeting is an important part of any goal, they decided to be innovative and seek out new ways to generate revenue for their club. What initially caught their eye was the Turf Tank line marking robot and its potential for logo and letter creation. They quickly realized they could use these features to mark out sponsors names in the grass and thus generate income for their club.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row us_custom_964a4e3b via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_80b87474\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><blockquote>\n<p>The Turf Tank has probably bought in enough to pay for the machine outright.

As an example, one of the sponsors wanted their logo marked on the grass. Trevor contacted Turf Tank&#8217;s development team and they created a custom design within weeks. Then, all Trevor had to do was use his tablet to select the logo and watch as their robot painted it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trevor is happy he can use the robot in this way, because without it, painting names for logos would be a nightmare. On one hand, the process would be more difficult, having to carry stencils and spray them in the pitch. But on the other hand, the stencils themselves are expensive, and being fixed in size and shape means the club needs to buy new ones for different sponsors or in different sizes. With the robot, they have all in one machine, which can easily be customized for every occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row us_custom_964a4e3b via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column us_custom_80b87474\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><blockquote>\n<p>I think if you look outside the box, you can really make some money from this machine.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><p class=\"w-text us_custom_d3c66fce has_text_color\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">Trevor Wayborn, Head Groundsman<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"w-image us_custom_73c9dc32 align_center\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Turf Tank salesman together with two robot operators and customer from Barnstable\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-50x38.jpg 50w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/turftank-barstaple-1-30x23.jpg 30w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default\" style=\"grid-gap:1rem;\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Professional-looking pitches<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the machine is paying for itself, it was easy to approve it in the budget, taking into account all the other benefits it brings to the club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One aspect they love about their robot is the accuracy of the lines they can produce now.
