Go Dog Go!

Many people would like to get into the super cool sport of FPV drone racing, but camera drones are expensive. Separately, many people have dogs who need regular walking. Can we bring these two problems together and solve them simultaneously? I believe we can, by turning dogs into drones!

Here's the plan: you rig up a microcontroller, a wireless receiver and a servo onto a dog harness with a short boom pole, and some food or a dog toy on the end. Your remote control inputs move the boom pole, controlling the direction the dog wants to run. You can then rig up a standard wireless transmitting camera as well and have full a FPV dog experience. You get to enjoy the thrill of high-octane virtual racing, and your dog gets some much needed exercise.

While this is a pretty tongue-in-cheek idea, I am genuinely curious to find out if it would work.
