Abrégé

A spraying module (200) for a self-propelled autonomous marking robot (100) and a self-propelled autonomous marking robot (100) for marking the ground (600) of a sports field are disclosed. The spraying module comprises a mechanical connector (26) for engaging in a mechanical connection with the self-propelled autonomous marking robot (100), a spraying nozzle (21) for dispersing the marking material, and a proximal disc (221') and a distal disc (221'') arranged on opposite sides of the spraying nozzle (21) to delimit a spraying space. The discs are rotatably attached to lift arms (222', 222''), which are individually pivotable around a pivot axis (PA), such that the disc (221', 221'') can be moved independently of each other.
