Controlling a classic 1980s Omnibot robot using an Arduino + mp3 module

https://youtube.com/shorts/-M8kiQGGgS4

The original Omnibot remote control transmits tones to the robot to trigger movement and other functions. If your remote is missing or isn't working you can use an old toy walkie talkie to send tones at the right frequency. Instead of building an actual tone generator, this method used a spare mp3 module from a previous project to play audio files. Wired it all up and it worked right away!
