If you have some RC gear and a few bits of GPS electronics this project that iforce2d built might be worth a look.  Have a look at it in action at 2:40.  The user has a GPS module and the car has a GPS module, the module with the person sends its position to the car and the car goes to that location, issue with GPS is that it isn’t very
 This GPS Guided RC Boat project is a great way to capture some interesting pre-determined navigation scenes. The boat does a great job of navigating until it hits something or gets swamped. Joseph Fortune has a page that provides build details and code so you can make your own.  “Here is a rough layout of the parts. The 9V battery hooked to the engine was actually one of those 7V rechargeable

It packs a lot of features in a small package for a great price. Make spoke with the creators of the Arduino Support for that device. Since there is a powerful microcontroller running the device they were able to pack in some additional code to get some work done on the side. “Make: Did
