Marcus the Android with life like expressions and movements modified from a Wow Wee Elvis robot.
The robot gets a complete rebuild, hack, and modifications. His upper lip is modified that raises the entire upper lip when speaking. Other modifications include adding a rotating pedestal base, that can also rock forward. He is controlled with an EZ B V4 Wi Fi controller.
Marcus has 12 degrees of freedom to make him more expressive.
I have been some what reluctant to get back into robotics since my stroke 2 years because of my short term memory issues, and now have been diagnosed with Parkinsons. Enough said about that, but I am enjoying my robots again.
I have missed all the fine people on the forum.
Hope you enjoy the video of Marcus.

I am looking at the ARC Pro subscription, wondering if I can install ARC in a different location on my laptop, so I can still keep ARC? Has anyone done this, or does it have to be one or the other? Seems like lots of new advancements.
Dave, The solar is used to power my garage fridge and freezer. It has a Wyze PanCam to view meters, and WiFi to operate the transfer switch and inverter. The kitten is a FurReal robotic cat, it has a sensor, so it greets me when I go by the robot table, acts like it is watching me, then goes to sleep. My intent was going to hack it, but I like it as it is. I received a JOY FOR All companion Cat for Christmas, that is often used for elderly, but is more realistic. Your comments are appreciated, thank you.
I seem to recall that ARC stopped working unless you upgraded to ARC. Not sure if it's possible to even keep ARC. I think as soon as it's discovered on your system it will be crippled. As long as you don't try to update ARC over the internet or try to connect ARC to Synthiam for what ever reason ARC should keep running as it does now. I'd think as soon as you tried to install ARC your version of ARC would stop working or be replaced. However your projects would still be safe and usable.
