Why does the CoDrone EDU (JROTC edition) cost more than the CoDrone EDU?

The CoDrone EDU (JROTC edition) is identical to the CoDrone EDU standard edition, except some of its internal components are sourced from different providers in order to be compliant with the American Security Drone Act of 2021. Some of these parts are higher in cost, so the price of the JROTC edition ends up being higher. In terms of the specifications and performance, they are identical.

Is the CoDrone EDU (JROTC edition) a better drone than the CoDrone EDU?

No, it's not a superior drone. The specifications between the two drones are identical. The only differences are in the sourcing of certain components inside of the drone for compliance reasons needed by JROTC.
