Looking Ahead to 2024-2025:
- The upcoming drone competition is set to feature an autonomous period. For this specific segment, the CoDrone Edu is highly recommended due to its programmable capabilities. Participating in multiple sessions? This drone is your go-to choice!
- Spare Propellers: Drone propellers can be fragile and prone to damage or loss. We recommend purchasing spare propellers for a seamless competition experience.
- Extra Batteries: Drone batteries offer flight times of around 5 minutes. Having spare batteries on hand is invaluable during practice and competition.
- Choosing Between Tello Edu and CoDrone:
- Tello Edu: Known for its ease of control, the Tello Edu is a great option for those starting out. However, it does not have capability to be programmed. This may be a problem as in following years this competition will incorporate a autonomous period.
- CoDrone Edu: While slightly more complex, the CoDrone Edu's programmability makes it an exciting choice. As a sneak peek into next year's competition, get ready for an autonomous challenge!
