candy/coin eating robot

Check out this video: https://youtu.be/nknPRvXkpRg. It's really cool - it shows my candy/coin eating robot in action, with an electronic twist that I'm excited to explain. The robot has a little plate attached to one of its hands, connected to the top part of its head by a hinge made from construction pieces. When you press the button, it turns a certain degree and then snaps back into place - all thanks to a motor inside the hollow body that's controlled by the button. I designed each part of my robot separately and measured them out carefully so they fit together perfectly. I even added some extra details, like hair on its head and chicken feet for legs, which I also designed myself. The only non-printed extras are the wires holding the arm and top head together, and the wire that goes through the body to power the motor. My robot is going to stand on a cardboard box with all the electronics inside, complete with a red button sticking out. When you press it, a little blue light will flash and then the robot will eat its candy/coin - it's really fun! Check out the video link I've included to see it in action and enjoy!
