Motorised lens cleaner

a motor from a cd/dvd drive cut the Q tip in half and slide it onto the axel connect the battery and you have a smudge free lens cleaner.

This seems like a good idea, but once the Q-tip has weared a bit, the hard plastic stick bit will come through, and possibly damage the lens. You can see it's already wore down a bit. I'd rather see something in the likes of a lens pen cleaning tip that spins around.

you dont need to put any pressure on it just light contact does the trick

Why do you need it motorized?

So far i've found that things either do come off with a q-tip in a few swipes, or not at all.
