I like killer robot idea. Go build robot.
Use the space. See what works for you. See what doesn't.
Like- layout- Where workbenches/outlets were intuitively placed my garage weren't necessarily where I needed them.
Beef up electrical as needed - lighting and outlets while the interior is so open/ not cluttered/ covered over. Once you use the space, you'll have a better idea where outlets are needed. I like at least some outlets next to the garage door- so I can get a line to outside project easy.
I have two out garages. One has finished white drywall. The other, unfinished walls like you have. It is amazing how much darker the unfinished garage is. It's sucks up light like a black hole.
Definitely add some 240v lines if you can. Compressor. Welder. Etc. Also some heavy duty 120v lines.
Extra doors- I'd sure like to have a door between the main space and the covered overhang, but I'd want to make sure it's swing path doesn't eat into storage space on either side interfering with where things are parked. So maybe. Maybe not.
I'd also spent some time out there when it's damp so make sure the walls are dry. Looks like previous moisture was on inside. I'd want to make sure the walls aren't still seeping. Id powerwash/strip the damaged paint on the exposed side to evaluate condition before doing much on inside.
