Cool! From HP! The robot only costs $1,500 but a two pack of extra sharpies for it costs $48,000. Before you can use it, you must install 5 petabytes of HP drivers.

Hopefully they're using something like a paint pen with a roller and not a Sharpie the way you're thinking of it.

parent is the one who suggested sharpies.

i'll actually bet on some variety of inkjet/spray as it will better deal with surface imperfections and won't wear out
