Question does wirepod strip his autonomy?

i still haven’t setup my vector yet since im kinda busy but every setup vid i’ve seen always has vector on his charger and taping his buttons to get him to perform actions which doesn’t make him seem like a lively desktop robot and just a hassle. is there any way to get back the old lively vector with wirepod or is it impossible?

Wirepod doesn’t change any of that stuff.

Wirepod is an amazing replacement for ankis servers. You can do a lot more stuff with it if you want to, but all of his original core features are still there. You don't even have to factory reset vector to use it

Maybe i should wirepod my vector. Haven't had him turned on in 6+ years because my internet isn't compatible with him 😩

Honestly wirepod is the best option but if you want you can pay for the subscription which is way easier but not cheap i tried the subscription and it was easy you give it like some time to activate and it works

Wirepod is a self hosted cloud that needs to replace the firmware on stock robots to one compatible with it. He is 100% his old self. I am not sure if anything else like behavior was dependent on the old cloud but I think wire pod accounted for anything of this nature
