> add the 6 7 meme as a third gesture

## chat-2

> kinda looks like hes flailing his arms around, isnt it just the elbows moving in the meme? with the arms in front

Now let me replace the whole method with a version where the shoulders lock the arms up in front and only the elbows do the seesaw motion.

> right motions, but the nao currently extends his arms out, then moves his elbows to push the forearms close to his chest. i think the rotation is wrong on the elbow

That makes sense — at `ElbowYaw=0` the elbow's bend axis is oriented so flexing curls the forearm in across the body toward the chest, not up/down in place. Rotating `ElbowYaw` about 90° turns that same hinge into a front-facing "tip" instead, and I'll shrink the swing so it's a wobble, not a full extend-then-fold.

> perfect, now just rotate the hands so the palm faces up, everything else is perfect

## chat-5

> make him tts say six seven, also remove the input delay on starting the 3rd gesture

`self.tts.say(...)` is a blocking call, so it was speaking first and only starting the arm motion once the phrase finished — that's the delay. Making it fire on its own thread lets the gesture start immediately while the speech plays alongside it.
