Okay, what is it that every kid wants, an RC car. Or maybe a pet. Why not both. With the research that went into electrically controlling that rat. Using standard wireless technology, and the everyday pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc) you get an rc pet. Add some simple electronics to prevent fatal overuse, and you get a RC toy that takes pet food instead of batteries (usually cheaper). In addition, there is no need to put the toy away when you are finished, the pets standard brain will take over once the system is turned off. In addition, there could be executive models, which would be impossible otherwise, ie the hummingbird, the RC-ant, etc. Standard pet life is usually greater than most kids attention span.

Just a thought,

I am new to this, but this seems fairly normal. Should I use the word cheese, custard, etc?

Editted title, as I didn't understand the interface

       How about RC Kids? Less trouble than the real thing and at least they won't bother the real pets.

       Nearly as Gross as my user name..why would you want to overide your pets functions? so you can have it running around in circles banging it's head against the wall? then watch it squirm when you reactivate it's functions..i know 'catalectrix' mmm.
