Build log of reviving an industrial robot

Recently finished reviving an ancient SCARA robot, adding a modern control software, giving it a paintbrush and a heavy dose of python.

The build report is a bit heavy on the robot mechanical and electrical hardware, but there's a github repo of image processing to synthesize the brush gcode and I thought you folks might be interested.

A quick video demo: https://vimeo.com/213723506

This is cool stuff, I enjoyed reading about it very much! What plans do you have for for the robot and system after the painting contest is over?
