1. An autonomous mobile spraying robot comprising:
a sprayer support system comprising at least one vertical support, wherein the at least one vertical support comprises:
a first vertical support that extends from a base of the autonomous mobile spraying robot and is perpendicular to a support surface; and
a second vertical support configured to slide relative to the first vertical support;
a sprayer adjacent the at least one vertical support and configured to translate vertically along a track defined by the second vertical support; and
a computer controller configured for:
causing the autonomous mobile spraying robot to spray a vertical swath of material by:
causing the second vertical support to slide vertically relative to the first vertical support at a first speed to a height that corresponds to a height of a wall; and
causing the sprayer to slide relative to the second vertical support at a second speed such that the first speed and the second speed are synchronized to a desired speed and the sprayer travels a linear path from a base of the second vertical support adjacent a base of the wall to a top portion of the second vertical support adjacent a top portion of the wall; and
causing the sprayer to spray the material while the sprayer is traveling the linear path.
