Can someone please design an open source drone with a tank of refillable black paint?

Would be great to get swarms of cheap autonomous drones that just hide in the trees charging during the day, and fly around at night deactivating these surveillance cameras.

Do they have to be autonomous? Because your idea sounds fun.

I think the project would be much more resilient if they were autonomous. You'd just need to hire some hippies to climb trees and refill paint tanks every now and then
