Mayor, Joanna Hewitt said: "Seeing the robot systematically work across the field marking out perfect lines, corners and the centre line circle was amazing."

Daniel White, from GroundTech, added: "We are delighted to work alongside a progressive town council seeking sustainable solutions to meet the sporting expectations from those aged seven to 70."
