Do any of these two items exist out there somewhere? 1. A RC car with a cam built in that uses wifi so I can drive the car outside and steer it by looking through the webcam. 2. A GPS collar for my cat so I could track his movment when he goes out at night and walk aroudn. Though he doesnt walk that far.. Doe to have many feet/meters is GPS accurate anyways?

GPS Pet Tracker. You can find cheaper options.

1. The RC camaera might work but still I want a remote for the car that would go longer than 100 feet.

2. The pet collar is too big for a cat . plus they want $25 a month. Ill have to wait till they come out with smaller GPS devices :(

I hope you have a brilliant scheme for combining these 2 devices when you get them, "Hunt the Cat" or something.

Definitely! Strap a Nerf gun to your RC car, or better yet RC Nerf Tank! (although that Nerf tank looks a bit crappy ...could maybe steal the nerf bit off it and stick it on a decent RC car)
