CAIBI’s proposed addition: Check video latency, add stop-on-disconnect and keep the battery and wiring protected.

Plan the next step
I want to develop this idea: Camera rover. Intended outcome: Drive a small camera-equipped vehicle around a controlled indoor course. The source is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNUD5G3DKhM. CAIBI suggests: Check video latency, add stop-on-disconnect and keep the battery and wiring protected. First inspect the source I supply. Separate what it already does from proposed additions. Ask for my actual board, parts, skill level and missing files. Produce a small staged plan with one bench test per stage. Do not invent pin assignments, dimensions or completed test results.

Design a measured enclosure
Help me design a practical enclosure for Camera rover. First ask for measured component dimensions, mounting holes, connectors, cable clearance, ventilation and operating conditions. Suggest a printable or off-the-shelf approach. Begin with a fit-test piece before a complete case. Label assumptions and do not invent an enclosure rating.

Check and document the result
Create a test log for Camera rover. Intended outcome: Drive a small camera-equipped vehicle around a controlled indoor course. Separate expected behaviour from observed results. Include power restart, disconnected inputs, communication failure and the actual physical use. Ask me to provide results, firmware versions, changes, photos and unresolved problems. Never mark a test passed without my evidence. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNUD5G3DKhM
