Lucid Bots successfully tested its new application sprayer module to protect the concrete facade at Alcorn State Stadium’s facade in a fraction of the time, validating a safer, faster, and more cost-effective approach to concrete and building envelope protection.
300% more efficient than traditional methods.
80% cost savings vs. traditional methods.
Overview
At Jack Spinks-Marino Casem Stadium in Lorman, Mississippi, Lucid Bots partnered with contractor FlyByShine to test its next-generation sprayer module designed for drone-based drone-based water repellent application. Using PROSOCO’s industry leading water repellent, Siloxane WB Concentrate, the project demonstrated how Lucid Bots’ technology can transform large-scale concrete protection.
“By the time you scaffold a building like this and put the product on, work through all of any kind of tweaks that need to be done...I would say it’s a lot faster, 20 times”
— Bill Daniel, Prosoco
The Challenge
Traditional Methods Are Too Slow, Risky, and Expensive
Waterproofing stadiums and other vertical concrete assets has always been a costly and time-consuming process. Scaffolding or lifts must be rented and assembled, and workers are sent up as high as 90 feet in the air. This increases liability, slows down timelines, and often discourages facility managers from performing necessary maintenance.
The Solution
Lucid Bots’ Sprayer Module Proves Its Value
Lucid Bots deployed its Sherpa drone with the new application sprayer module to apply Prosoco’s siloxane-based sealer directly to the stadium facade. Partnering with Fly By Shine for on-site operations, Lucid demonstrated that thousands of square feet could be waterproofed in a single day—without scaffolding, lifts, or worker risk at height.
Key Outcomes:
- 4x Faster than traditional methods
- 80% Cost Savings vs. scaffolding and lifts
- Safer by keeping crews on the ground
- Consistent, Professional Finish meeting manufacturer standards
Customer Validation
FlyByShine’s team provided field feedback during the test and confirmed the commercial potential of the solution:
“Before another contractor could even get scaffolding up, we were already done. The simplicity of what we just did is shocking.”
— Ric McCluskey, Owner, Fly By Shine
“It’s really safe. Nobody is 90 feet in the air — the drone does the work.”
— John Young, Prosoco
Looking Ahead
This successful trial confirmed that Lucid Bots’ sealing solution is ready to move into beta with select partners. The company is packaging the module into a Sealing Kit including payload, pump, regulators, hose, and intuitive software, enabling contractors to deliver faster, safer, and more profitable sealing jobs.
Key Takeaway: Lucid Bots is redefining infrastructure maintenance. By eliminating scaffolding and lifts, reducing costs, and improving safety, the new sprayer module empowers contractors like FlyByShine to take on projects once considered too complex, costly, or risky.

Customer Success Story: Transformed with Lucid Bots Drone
Discover how Godwin Cleaning Services achieved success with the help of drone technology from Lucid Drone Tech. Read their story now.
With the rise of new technologies and sciences, it's not surprising that many people are hesitant about embracing drones for their business needs.
After all, we've been there before when computerization was first introduced to the business space. But what if you're one of those who are still on fence? Maybe you're reluctant. I mean, drones are new and maybe a bit daunting...
The Lucid Bots cleaning drone can take your business to the next level, and after you read this blog post, any doubts will be cleared up before tomorrow morning rolls around again.
But don't just take our word for it. Take it from one of our valued customers, Ryan Godwin, owner of Godwin Cleaning Services, an exterior cleaning business servicing commercial and residential properties.
Ryan Godwin had a similar hesitation when it came to using drones to help his business. "I mean, you know not and I was really skeptical. In the beginning, of course, because I didn't know much about it. And it took me a while to decide to pull the trigger." Godwin Cleaning Services finally did pull the trigger, and now, it’s paying off in a big way.
After using the drone, Godwin knew that a Lucid Bots cleaning drone would become a game changer for his business. “I knew I had to incorporate it into my business." He added, "I bought this and you know, I've had it for what a month now. And I've already executed like four jobs with it for big names.”
Lucid Bots cleaning drone has been a game changer for many industry professionals, and for most, it’s considered their secret weapon. “I'm glad it's my secret weapon.” said Godwin, “it's the game changer that I needed to, really, really push it.”
Truthfully, we succeed when our customers succeed. That’s why we go through extensive testing and development to ensure that our drones are effective and profitable for our customers. “But I'm just gonna tell you now. And not just because y'all are the manufacturers of it. I mean, it's probably the best purchase I've made for my business.”
Additionally, our cleaning drones have cut down the time it takes to complete cleaning jobs the traditional way by increasing efficiency by 80%. “If I was using the traditional lift I mean, this is a two three day project.” Said Godwin. “I've actually been counting my cleaning time. Total cleaning time. It's been about four hours today.”
Lucid Bots was founded on one key principle: safety. Slips, trips and falls are the number one cause of injury on a job site. Cleaning drones are making it possible to reduce liability and increase worker safety by 95%. “I'm not hanging off a lift, you're still spraying. I'm just not hanging off a lift brand. You know, the only difference is I'm safer on the ground.” Said Godwin.
It also helps that cleaning drones are really cool. “I'm telling you, I've had an audience all day.” said Godwin.
Drones are changing the world, but Lucid Bots is leading by example. We have created a smarter way for professionals in cleaning industries to do their jobs - safer and faster than ever before.
"It's a game-changer!"
