So here's the idea: We buy a radio controlled boat and rip out the reciever. We then install a servo controller instead and hook it up to a Raspberry Pi. Then we attach a GPS, two cameras - one for forward and one for backward view, and a 3G modem.
Then we install nodejs and program it to control all the devices. It will then serve up a web page which we can surf to with an iPad. The web page will display the GPS position, using Google maps, the cameras and provide a touch interface to controll the throttle and rudder.
Sound ok? Yay - let's go!
