What it does

A line marking robot that ends the per-marking bill.

The PaintMaster Pro is an autonomous line marking robot for natural-turf sports fields. It positions itself with RTK GNSS via an FJD N10 base station or a CORS network, follows the field template you select in the app, and sprays a crisp 6–17 cm line at 1–3 km/h. FJD's figure for a full 11-a-side pitch is 30 to 40 minutes, with a binocular camera stopping the robot if a person or obstacle crosses its path.

Most Perth clubs, schools and facility managers pay for marking as a service: someone arrives with a machine, marks each field, and invoices per visit. That works until the season does what seasons do. Rain fades lines mid-week, finals need fresh paint on a Thursday, a fixture change adds a field, and every one of those is another call-out on another invoice. Owning the robot inverts the model: once your fields are mapped, a re-mark costs paint and an operator hour, whenever you want it.

Repeatability is the quiet advantage. The field map is stored, so every re-mark lands on exactly the same line as the first: no string lines, no measuring wheels, no drift across a season. Templates for football, rugby, American football, baseball and lacrosse are built in (FJD builds its football and gridiron templates to FIFA and NCAA line specifications), custom designs and club crests are laid out in the PaintMaster software, and league-specific codes, including AFL ovals, are confirmed at scoping.

The Pro runs on the same GreenMaster fleet platform as FJ Dynamics' robotic mowers. If we're already mowing your grounds, or you're considering it, marking and mowing run from one dashboard under one agreement, quoted per site assessment.

Best for

Where the PaintMaster earns its keep.

If your grounds get marked every week of a season, you're the buyer. The Pro suits multi-field sites; the Mini suits a single home ground.

Sports clubs

Home grounds marked weekly through winter and overmarked for finals, without a per-visit invoice in sight.

Schools & universities

Ovals and playing fields marked outside school hours; seasonal changeovers between codes handled by template.

Councils & shires

Reserves with multiple fields and rotating seasonal allocations, marked to one consistent standard across the network.

Stadiums & venues

Presentation-grade lines and painted club crests for match days; the Ultra covers roofed and GPS-denied venues.

Grounds & turf contractors

Add autonomous marking capability to maintenance contracts and quote fields your crew never had the hours for.

Multi-field precincts

Regional sporting hubs and multi-code precincts where one Pro replaces a full day of manual marking.

How it works

Map once, mark forever.

A one-off survey and field map, then any template, any time. Every re-mark lands on the same line.

Step 01

Survey & map

Our engineer surveys the ground, checks RTK sky view and tree cover, and maps each field with the V4e receiver. One visit for most sites.

Step 02

Choose the template

Pick the sport template in the app or lay out a custom design in the PaintMaster software. League codes are set up at scoping.

Step 03

Mark

Fill the tank, set the robot down, press go. It sprays at 1–3 km/h while the camera watches for anyone crossing the field.

Step 04

Re-mark on demand

The stored map makes every re-mark identical. Overmark before finals, refresh after rain, and GreenMaster keeps the record.

The small one

PaintMaster Mini: marking for a one-oval club.

Same stored-map repeatability as the Pro, in a 21.9 kg unit a volunteer can lift from a station wagon.

FJD PaintMaster Mini compact line marking robot, studio view

The Mini is the same idea at club scale: a 21.9 kg unit with an 8 L tank, a 5–12 cm line and about two hours of marking per charge. It maps fields with the handheld V4e receiver, positions on RTK with vision-based obstacle detection, and carries an IPX5 rating, so a hose-down after a muddy morning is fine.

It suits a school or club with one or two fields, where the Pro's 20 L tank and five-hour runtime would sit idle. Because it's autonomous, marking can run under floodlights at night or first thing in the morning, so lines are fresh for Saturday without anyone giving up a Friday evening. Same software, same stored-map repeatability, same three ways to pay.

Also in the family

Indoors or GPS-denied: the PaintMaster Ultra.

For covered stadiums, indoor arenas and other spaces where satellite positioning can't reach, the PaintMaster Ultra pairs a total station laser with RTK for millimetre-grade accuracy. It carries a 25 L tank and runs about eight hours per charge.

We quote the Ultra per project rather than off a page. If your venue is under a roof, or your tolerances are tighter than a suburban oval's, talk to us and we'll scope it with FJ Dynamics directly.

WA deployment

Marking in WA conditions, honestly.

Both units carry a 5–45 °C operating window. In a Perth summer that means marking runs in the morning, which is when grounds staff mark anyway; we build schedules around it rather than pretend heat doesn't exist. In winter we schedule around rain fronts, because paint take-up on saturated turf is poor no matter what machine applies it.

RTK positioning wants open sky. A typical WA oval is ideal; a boundary line under heavy tree cover may not be. We map signal shadow at the site survey and tell you before you commit if part of a ground needs a different approach.

FJ Dynamics is a serious OEM rather than a gadget brand: founded in 2017 by former DJI chief scientist Wu Di, backed by Tencent, and FJD reports more than 200,000 units sold across 140-plus countries. Its global policy is a 24-month main-unit warranty with lifetime free software updates.

We supply and service FJ Dynamics robots across WA from Perth. Mapping, templates, training and support are handled locally, in your time zone, by the same team that runs our autonomous cleaning fleet on WA sites today.

Service & support

WA-based, end-to-end.

No offshore tickets. Perth-based engineers handle survey, mapping, templates, training and incident response.

Mapping & templates

Site survey, RTK setup, field maps and league templates configured at scoping. We hand over a marking system, not a box.

Operator training

On-site session for grounds staff or volunteers: loading paint, choosing templates, running a mark, escalation flow.

Response SLA

Perth metro: same-day on-site. Regional WA: next business day. Cloud-resolvable issues: under an hour.

Purchase, lease or RaaS

Quoted per site assessment: outright purchase with a Care Plan, 2–4 year lease-to-own, or Robotics-as-a-Service. Mow-and-mark bundles welcome.

Why Perth Robots

Honest credibility, not just claims.

Engineering-led.

Built by someone who has engineered advanced systems and operated them in demanding environments. We know what these machines can and can't do.

WA-based service, not a reseller.

We deploy and service every unit ourselves across WA. If a robot's down before Saturday's fixtures, that's on us, in the same time zone.

Multi-OEM, honest advice.

We recommend the right robot for your site, not the only one we carry. If the numbers don't stack up, we'll tell you.

Low-risk by design.

RaaS is a flat monthly subscription, not a capital gamble. The risk sits with us, and you mark as often as the season demands.

In motion

FAQ

Common buyer questions.

Can the PaintMaster mark AFL ovals?
The standard template library covers football (soccer), rugby, American football, baseball and lacrosse, plus custom designs built in the PaintMaster software. AFL and other league-specific templates are confirmed at scoping: before any order we verify the exact marking codes your competition requires and set them up as part of the site assessment.
What does a PaintMaster cost?
It's quoted per site assessment, with three ways to pay: Robotics-as-a-Service, outright purchase with an optional Care Plan, or a 2–4 year lease-to-own. The comparison worth running is against what you pay a marking service per field, per visit, across a season, because once you own the robot a re-mark costs paint and an operator hour. We'll run that maths with you before you commit.
Should I choose the Pro or the Mini?
The Mini suits a club or school with one or two fields: 21.9 kg, an 8 L tank and about two hours of marking per charge. The Pro carries a 20 L tank (expandable to 25 L), runs five hours per charge and sprays a wider 6–17 cm line, which fits councils, multi-field precincts and grounds teams marking week in, week out. We confirm the fit during the site assessment.
Does it work through a Perth summer and winter?
The operating window for both units is 5–45 °C, so summer marking runs in the morning rather than the afternoon. The Mini is IPX5-rated, but we schedule marking around wet weather regardless, because paint take-up on saturated turf is poor whatever applies it.
Does it need a base station or open sky?
Positioning is RTK: the Pro connects to an FJD N10 base station or a CORS network over NTRIP, and the Mini maps fields with the handheld V4e receiver. RTK needs a clear view of the sky, so heavy tree cover along a boundary is checked at the site survey, and we tell you up front if part of a ground isn't suitable.
Can it paint club logos and custom designs?
Yes. Custom designs are laid out in the PaintMaster software and marked the same way as a line template. FJD's own deployments include a full-size club crest painted across match turf by the Pro.
Can I bundle marking with robotic mowing?
Yes, and it's the configuration we quote most often. A PaintMaster and an FJD mower run on the same GreenMaster dashboard, under one agreement with one point of contact; the RM21 mowing platform also takes a line-marker attachment if you'd rather one chassis did both jobs. Bundles are quoted per site assessment.
Who services it in WA?
We do. Perth Robots supplies and services FJ Dynamics robots across WA from Perth. Metro sites get same-day on-site response, regional WA is next business day, and most software issues are resolved remotely.
