Low cost robot auto painter

Bring a little bit of Detroit to your local body shop. Home brew versions of X Y plotters are being created by hobbyists. Why noty scale up these low cost designs and have a robot auto painter follow an X Y plotter type track attached to the ceiling. The paint gun is attached to a telescoping pole attached to the X Y plotter. The plotter tracks could be raised and lowered to reduce the motion of the telescoping pole as it goes through it's motions. Motion stabilizing technology, such as a used in video cameras, could also be deployed in order to steady the paint gun. At the paint gun end of the pole is a wrist or universal joint, The joint, telescoping pole, and X Y plotter controls the position of the paint gun. Software would be written to control the machine in painting specific car makes and models, the body shop would purchase the logarithm as required -- creating profit for the maker . Over time the device and programs would pay for themselves for the usual man versus robot reasons: less down time, works three shifts, no lunch, etc. A similar low cost device could be created from robot car wash technology.
