The City of Penticton's new 56 kg sports field robot

It's time to name the robot.

Voting is now open for a new city survey, as Penticton looks to name its sports field machine, a 56-kilogram robot that can paint a soccer pitch in 24 minutes and a baseball diamond in 10.

Twelve names were selected as finalists after the city received 228 submissions from the public.

People can vote , for one of the following names:

鈥 Linus

鈥 Drew

鈥 Mike Wazowski

鈥 Marky Mark

鈥&苍产蝉辫;惭别补诲辞飞

鈥 Linemate

鈥&苍产蝉辫;笔颈肠补蝉蝉辞

鈥 Shrek

鈥&苍产蝉辫;翱驳辞辫补颈苍迟驳辞

鈥 Linel Messi

鈥 The Great Gazoo

鈥 Marvin the Martian

The robot will be responsible for painting lines at the city's sports fields, including King鈥檚 Park (soccer) McNicol Park (rugby and football fields), and baseball and slo-pitch diamonds.

鈥淭he parks team used to manually paint the lines, so automating this process is saving us countless hours of staff time,鈥 parks supervisor Todd Whyte previously said in a press release.
