AR.Drone is louder, but better.

@Christopher80611 almost any device in the world has its problems, i doubt that it doesnt work completely. dont call me an idiot man, it makes me think that i am one. Never mind this device, it's really better if you build your own using a mix of this devices parts and other different parts. if there is something wrong with the wifi adapter upgrade it to a better one in exchange. some of the best devices such as these are better made, at home.

@saladin12740 and you can control that cat, and making it go where ever you want by sticking and lighting a bottle rocket up its ass. I think not... plus thats too much work. (you can control this device with a wifi signal, from any where in the world, has an integrated camera, microphone, and speaker.) you precious pussy doesnt stand a chance, dad.

@su6lyminal just strap a damn wi fi camera do your cat and there you go son. Nothing impressive with this shit.

[su6lyminal]

@jackwolf131: 1) find out your own IP address. 2) configure your wireless router. Transfer #80 to #9000 & #554 to #9001 ports. 3) go to Rovio's settings page, change web port to 9000 on Network tag. 4) test drive on your home network using 192.168.1.XXX:9000. If it works, there is 80% chance to work over the Internet. 5)On Internet or phone, enter your IP & :9000. Enter user name and password to control it online.
