Now first of all I'm a smart man and I won't do stupid things that I can't fix, so I don't need suggestions to NOT mess with the toy and keep it operational
In case you don't know what the toy is, here's a good review and demonstration:

Now, by now I'v gone as far as taking a peek inside to see what the electronics are. And here's the photo of it's microcontroller:
- Spoiler: show
Ideally I would like to keep the system as it is, but wire it so that input for the motor may come not from the board, but from, say, arduino microcontroller. But I'm a tech noob, so I wouldn't know how to wire it, and that's the best place I know to ask. If nothing real comes up, I'd drop the idea, but maybe some suggestions about how can this be done?
