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:

• Linus

• Drew

• Mike Wazowski

• Marky Mark

•&Բ;ѱ𲹻Ƿ

• 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.
