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:
• Linus
• Drew
• Mike Wazowski
• Marky Mark
•&Բ;ѱǷ
• Linemate
•&Բ;ʾ
• Shrek
•&Բ;DZ貹Գٲ
• Linel Messi
• The Great Gazoo
• Marvin the Martian
The robot will be responsible for painting lines at the city's sports fields, including King’s Park (soccer) McNicol Park (rugby and football fields), and baseball and slo-pitch diamonds.
“The parks team used to manually paint the lines, so automating this process is saving us countless hours of staff time,” parks supervisor Todd Whyte previously said in a press release.
