+This patching will also enable other High-Level functions in the framework to recognize the Seed Robotics model numbers, so its application is highly recommended.

+Failing to add support, may result in an error running Herborist (where the GUI stops responding a traceback error appears on the console). It may also cause errors running other functions in the framework, with errors such as "Keyerror: xxx", where xxx is one of Seed Robotics models numbers.
+Locate the folder where ''pypot'' is installed and edit the ''conversion.py'' script:\\

-Please note: Model numbers ''400'' and ''401'' refer to the RH4D with Ares architecture and are already recognized by this version of PyPot (We thank the University of Hamburg for its contribution in integrating this model).\\ Therefore, for PyPot 3.0.3, you only need to add support for the remaining models.
