Better lines. Fewer hours. Less paint.

String lines and a walk-behind marker take two people and most of a morning. GPS autosteer takes one operator and a fraction of the time, and the lines are in the same place every week.

Side by side

Manual marking vs Roboline GPS

	Manual (tape, pegs, walk-behind)	Roboline GPS
Set-up	Measure and string every line, every time	Layout saved once, re-loaded in seconds
Crew	Usually two people	One operator
Time per football field	Hours, including measuring	Around 10 minutes of marking*
Accuracy	Depends on the person and the wind	Centimetre-level RTK-GPS, repeatable
Paint use	Overspray, wobbles and touch-ups	Controlled spray, no double passes
Records	Paper notes, if any	Every job logged by ground and date
Staff strain	Kilometres of walking and pushing	Seated operator, minimal manual handling

The benefits

What changes when GPS does the steering

RTK-GPS accuracy

Correction signals take standard GPS down to centimetre level. Lines are straight, corners are square and fields are the right size.

Speed you can plan around

Mark more grounds before game day, and get back out quickly after rain washes lines away.

Layouts saved for good

Each field is set up once in the app. Change codes between seasons without re-measuring.

Less paint wasted

Even, controlled spray and no wobbles mean fewer touch-ups and less product used per field.

Lower WHS risk

Cut the repetitive walking, bending and pushing that comes with manual marking.

A record of every job

Each marking is logged by ground and date, which makes reporting and invoicing simple.

The technology

Powered by Traqnology

Roboline runs Traqnology’s Sportstraq system, developed in Denmark for sports field and turf care. It pairs a high-precision GPS receiver and antenna with an autosteer kit and an iPad app, fitted to a utility vehicle.

Pre-loaded templates for all major field codes
Layouts placed on a satellite map, adjustable to your field
Marking speeds from 0.5 to 15 km/h
Enough paint on board for a full day of marking
Layouts and job history backed up to the cloud
