Investor summary
BOTPLANNERL5 is a modular robotic platform for drywall finishing (skim spray + skimming, sanding and painting). Tier definitions are contractor-friendly: SL / PRO / XL PRO are limited by the maximum weekly throughput supported by the recommended sprayer class, while the robot enforces repeatable motion and workflow automation.
What scales
- Fleet model: one operator supervises up to 3 robots.
- Modular upgrades: same core chassis + elevator + 4th/5th axis across modules.
- Ecosystem fit: uses contractor-trusted sprayers and tools (Graco, Titan, VEVOR, etc.).
- Predictability: consistent overlap, standoff and tool orientation reduces rework.

Operating assumptions
These are the baseline assumptions used for contractor ROI discussions. Energy and maintenance are treated as comparable across options and not split out (contractor-friendly model).
Labor model
Semi-skilled operator: $25/hour
Workday: 6 productive hours / 8 paid hours
Supervision: typically 1 robot, scalable up to 3 robots.
Target outputs (robot)
Sanding throughput: 750 sqft/hour
Skim-spray + skimming: limited by sprayer class (see tiers)
Painting: limited by sprayer class (see tiers)
Scaling insight
One operator supervising three robots is the economic lever. Productivity is ~3× per robot and can reach up to ~9× per operator when running a small fleet.
Production tiers (defined by sprayer class)
SL / PRO / XL PRO are defined by the recommended sprayer category and its maximum weekly throughput. Below targets are per robot (typical daily outputs) and weekly material volume limits.
| Tier | Recommended sprayer class | Skimming (spray) volume | Skimming output (typical) | Painting volume | Painting output (typical) | Sanding throughput |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BOTPLANNERL5 · SL | VEVOR 1500W (paint & mud spray entry class) | 20–30 gal/week (≈ 5 gal/day practical) | ~500 sqft/day (limited by volume) | 20–30 gal/week | ~2,300 sqft/day (typical) | 750 sqft/hour |
| BOTPLANNERL5 · PRO | Titan Impact 840i class | 75–100 gal/week | ~2,000 sqft/day | 75–100 gal/week | ~7,600 sqft/day | 750 sqft/hour |
| BOTPLANNERL5 · XL PRO | Graco Ultra 695XT (painting) + Mark V HD (mud spray) | ~200 gal/week | ~4,000 sqft/day | ~200 gal/week | ~15,200 sqft/day | 750 sqft/hour |
ROI logic (simplified, contractor-friendly)
The economic driver is labor leverage: one operator can supervise multiple robots. This reduces dependency on highly skilled finishers while increasing predictable throughput.
Labor cost baseline
Skilled finisher: ~$50/hour (typical all-in labor proxy)
Robot operator: $25/hour
Paid day: 8 hours
- 1 skilled worker/day ≈ $400
- 1 operator/day ≈ $200
- Operator can supervise up to 3 robots on the same site
Why investors care
- Hardware-first unit economics (fleet expansions are repeat purchases).
- Modular attach expands ARPU without replacing the platform.
- Adoption fit: integrates with existing contractor ecosystems.
- Labor shortage hedge: value grows as skilled labor tightens.
