Hello everyone,

Since the DJI Tello EDU is no longer available for purchase, I’m looking for recommendations on affordable, open-source drone alternatives suitable for educational and research purposes. It would be helpful if the suggestions support custom programming and integration with common tools like Python or ROS. Any recommendations from your experience?

Thank you for your insights!

There is a node.js plugin that allows for DJI Tello blocks in Scratch. It must be ran each time you open up Scratch.
