How to play
Tap it to wind it up: its key whirs and its arms swing wide.
Notes
Turning the key on its back winds the spring tight, and as the spring slowly unwinds, it turns little gears that swing the arms and move the legs. Wind-up tin robots were a favorite toy in the middle of the 1900s.
This robot always swings its arms a little, and its antenna light glows. Tap it to wind it up: the key spins fast, the arms swing wide and it rocks and bobs from side to side, then it slowly runs down again. Pick its color in the Splash tab.
