-Since the RasPi 4 is the latest version and it is more powerful than the earlier version it has higher demands for the power supply, so make sure, you use one that is certified or recommended for the RasPi 4. Be careful, some chinese vendors brag about their power supplies, but some of them actually are not powerful enough. Read some reviews on the one you want to buy and scrutinize carefully if the reviews look genuine or doctored (some shady sellers fake reviews).+Since the RasPi 4 is the latest version and it is more powerful than the earlier iterations it has higher demands for the power supply, so make sure, you use one that is certified or recommended for the RasPi 4.

 If the power supply does not have enough capacity, you may not regognize this at once, but it can lead to mysterious errors and crashes. And crashes may damage the file/Linux system on the SD card, leading to the need of reinstallation, re-licensing and re-onboarding. Believe me, I've been there. If the power supply does not have enough capacity, you may not regognize this at once, but it can lead to mysterious errors and crashes.

 It is a good idea to write an image of your SD card to a file after you configured your Escape Pod. That way you have a backup of the latest system, that you can easily write to a new SD card and then you are back to a running system that already has all your changes. The process is basically the reverse as wrinting an image to the SD, card and you also use Win32 Disk Imager (or similar software) for this, but instead of writing an image file to a SD card, you write the content of the SD card to an image file that you can store on your computer as a backup. It is a good idea to write an image of your SD card to a file after you configured your Escape Pod.

 +===== What needs to be improved and added? =====
 +
 +(work in progress)
 +
 +  * Add knowledge graph
 +  * Add weather
 +  * (at least provide meaningful, helpful and easy to follow instructions on how to achieve those above using the open sourced libraries)
 +  * Add Python SDK
 +  * Add GUI and (working!) VNC to the underlying Ubuntu OS (so it would be possible to code in Python on the Escape Pod) or switch to Raspberry OS
 +  * Provide Escape Pod as a package, docker or installation file for other operating systems
 +  * **Add option to update Escape Pod from inside the Escape Pod installation**
 +  * **Add option to update the Ubuntu from inside Escape Pod**
 +  * Add option to export and reimport Vector user data
 +  * <del>Add option to export and reimport command list</del>
 +  * <del>Add download links for earlier production and OSKR OTAs so they can be downloaded directly to Escape Pod to flash them onto the robots</del> (they will no longer support older firmwares as by a statement made by a DDL representative on the Vector Discord)
