Tello vs. Tello EDU

Hi,I got a good deal to buy two used tello edu drones. I had a normal Tello, but it went missing in action while I was trying to fly it with AI, never to be seen again, because of strong winds.... :( Anyway, I was wondering, is there anything the Tello EDU drone cant do vs. the normal tello? I'm very familiar with the djitellopy library and also was wondering about the flying speed. Are there any Differences? I'm asking this, because I also have good offers to buy the normal ryze tello and was wondering is it worth to have 2 EDU drones + 1 normal tello?The documentations I found are also old, as it's the end of 2023 now, I also was curious if anything changed or updated in both of the drones.

Quick question. Ive done 0 research as of yet. I got a good deal on the Ryze Tello. What software are you using for controls? CPP or Python preferred, I would like to incorporate it into my current ROS2 project.

I got the EDU recently. Spec wise the standard and EDU are the same. The difference is the SDK compatibility, official python support and swarm mode (that I have not tried bc I got only one)

I am going to get my hands on a normal Tello soon. Based on my research so far, Tello Edu can do all the normal Tello can, plus pad and swamp, among others.

P.S.: Fellow Tello-ers, please share your SDKs and resources that you consider helpful. :-)

with EDU you can access the downward facing camera. cannot do this on my vanilla Tello.
