    This is one of the things that has had me wondering for a while now.
    Wouldn't there seem to be some money in constructing at least some sort of
    a workable "chipbot", if not a "chip-and-paintbot", for such things? Not
    necessarily on a navy vessel, but (say) cargo or cruse ships? There's be
    obvious limitations given the many nooks & crannies aboard ship, but still,
    I wonder what the economcs of this are.
