Security Cam Robot, This Droid Is Watching For You. Jazzy Power Chair Frame

So unfortunately the shell I made was too thick and battery could not slide in. Sad-face. Its cool, I only blew a couple hours work. I will redo it and correct the mistake.

As you can see the battery is not able to slide in. I did not account for the taper of the battery rack is 1/4 tighter at the base than the top. Sooooo yeah, I hate failing and doing things twice ,but the more I work on Robotics the more I am learning mistakes and stepping stones to succcess , not failures.

I am looking at colors for the outside. I planned on doing plastidip because it can be peeled off and changed any time. Also spraying it on the frame means there is a level of water resistance and rust protection on the steel frame.

I love the idea of black , but at the same time I would like to put decals that indicate the robots name and purpose , maybe even my address in the event it is stolen. In that case the gunmetal gray is a bit more appealing. What do you guys think?

I like the grey. The other direction you could go is like a safety orange, so it isn't just a stealthy observer, but actually a deterrent.

OK I am going with Grey and any words / decals will be in black. I want something along the lines of Security droid or something like that on it.

I have 6 cans of the grey on the way , woop woop

I need a cool "codename" for this security robot. Like " Big brother" , "Night Owl" , "Prowler" , "Jackel" , "Pitbull" or somthing cool like that. I think a name makes the persona of the robot project. Obviously the purpose of this project is to make a night day security cam rover type robot that records video, makes a physical presence, follows intruders or even talks to a intruder telling them to leave just like a car alarm. haha VIPER back away !

I am Batman! Or not....

As far as "flashy" I dont want it to be so loud that everyone driving by stops to look at it, as they may get too much attention, generally I want to make sure it can be seen and also somewhat intimidating in looks when confronted. Ya know and maybe the robot can pee on them is they don't leave lol. So I am looking at a 12v or 24 volt small pump to make that happen.

for a name, how bout something from terminator, like an "HK-1" ?
