Robots are good at repetitive tasks and economy of scale. Doing a tricky action for ten thousand boards is something that robots are good at; doing a different tricky action on each of a hundred boards is not.

It doesn't seem plausible to have a business case where you'd get be able to get a large quantity of identical boards (that are otherwise good!), replace caps on them, and be able to sell them for much more than you got them - i.e. that the boards haven't become obsolete in that time. If there's no mass production, there's not much use for automation.
