copper golem RC scout concept

I'm definitely not the first to pitch this idea at least for the mob itself but i been thinking that since the original pitch of the golem was just randomly pressing buttons and while if it was added it would not hurt to have, I'm not sure if it would it would be good enough. so instead how about if the copper golem was added it acts more like a remote controlled scout. imagine you being able to place down the golem and maybe right click on it or use an item on it to go into the perspective to control it leaving your body motionless.it could then have the following traits

• is able to scout for you in areas your not familiar with ( specially if they make it one block tall )
• gathers items that could be either to out of reach for you or to dangerous for you
• perhaps act as a decoy for some non boss type hostile mobs 
• perhaps lets you place blocks while you control it if it has a limited inventory of maybe 4 to 6 block spaces ( this is intentionally small but maybe it could be increased if this feature is too weak)
• if not controlled keeps the original function of just randomly interacting with copper buttons but it could also interact with other copper devices too like copper leavers if added, doors and trapdoors too 
• oxidizes to make cool statues for decoration and building 

the intent of my suggestion is to keep the identity of the copper golem more of a builder or scouter who can be used for versatility but not directly combat like its iron and snow brothers are better known for
