In the past, it would take a team of three people 10 hours every week to paint a football field, with the level of detail and precision that was desired. This process entailed dragging string and carrying hash mark stencils around the entire field. Now, that same field can be painted by just one person using a tablet, operating the Turf Tank, and the field is ready in six hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/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=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-1024x577.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-1024x577.png 1024w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-50x28.png 50w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-150x85.png 150w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-700x394.png 700w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-800x451.png 800w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-900x507.png 900w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-1200x676.png 1200w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-500x282.png 500w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-400x225.png 400w, https:\/\/turftank.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/duke-stadium-30x17.png 30w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/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 helped us immensely to be more efficient and have greater results as well!<\/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\">Ian Christie, Superintendent<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div><\/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=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is all thanks to the robot&#8217;s autonomous design.

That means that the grounds crew do not have to worry anymore about the lines fading out and repaint them every week, just to ensure they do not lose their spot, even though the fields might not even be used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The Turf Tank allows us to not have to repaint only to prevent us from re-measuring things. So we can let fields grow out and move fields as needed. We could re-stencil right where they need to go. It allows the field to get a break from the constant painting.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2><b>More flexibility<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The excellency that characterizes the University can be seen among its employees as well.
