City of Penticton officials are asking for the community's help in naming its new sports field robot, a 56-kilogram green-line painting machine.

鈥淭he parks team used to manually paint the lines, so automating this process is saving us countless hours of staff time,鈥� said parks supervisor Todd Whyte. 鈥淪ince the robot is now part of the team, we thought it would be fun to open it up to residents to help give it a name.鈥�

The city is welcoming community members to submit their name suggestions at .

Residents will later be asked to cast their votes for their favourite name, after the city's parks team reads through the submissions and creates a shortlist.

"The winning name will be added to the robot鈥檚 body as a permanent wrap and the individual who submitted the name will receive a prize," a press release reads.

According to the city, early name submissions include:

鈥� Line-all Messi 

鈥� Babe Ruth 

鈥� Get turfed 

鈥� The Blade Runner

The robot can paint a soccer field in 24 minutes, or a baseball in 10 minutes, the city says.
