Vintage Toy Robot

My submission is a nod to the STEM toys of the past - a vintage toy robot with moving arms.
The build is 243 pieces total including one minifigure with an accessory (which is meant to represent a remote control). The robot has antennas for ears and includes tools on each hand. The design also leverages a few printed tiles that are currently available in 2021-2022 sets.

The Robot includes moving arms. The movement is controlled by a knob gear on the robot's back. When turned it will raise or lower the arms. I have included a pic of the mechanism inside to demonstrate how it works. It uses a simple gear/worm gear combination.
