ROBO-FIELD
The field is seeded with Kentucky bluegrass, which can be cultivated to remain soft and flat in all weather conditions. A mixture of water and glycol travels through 28 miles of subterranean plastic hoses to warm or cool the field according to sun and shade conditions. When it rains, a vacuum-powered drainage system sucks out moisture
to prevent oversaturation.
