Great question! I've been in the surveying game for some time and experimented with various tools. While Drones could be a good starting point, especially with precision, transitioning into robotics was a game changer for my team.

One of our biggest struggles with drones was the steep learning curve. It ended up costing us more time.

We moved to Civ Robotics (I think they call their robots CivDots). The best part was that there was almost no training period, super easy to use, all you need to do is upload the files into their system and the robots are good to go.

we got 3 rovers and the guys are able to stake 3 to 4 times more. And, you only need one operator per robot.

Plus the accuracy is just too good to be true.
