What this changes

Adds a three-line ### Browser Control (Optional) section immediately after the existing ### Setup with LeRobot section. No existing content is moved or restructured.

Why

After completing the LeRobot calibration tutorial, builders who want to operate the arm from a different machine or share access with a collaborator currently have no documented path in this README. orobot.io is a community builder hosting platform (no paywall on the program, open-source spirit) that hosts the SO-101 as a community-built program — browser-based control sandbox, BOM, and build guide included. The Raspberry Pi connects via orobot.io's BYOD pairing flow.

The section is marked Optional to make clear this is an additional path, not a requirement. The wording is descriptive ("useful if you want to operate the arm remotely or share access with a collaborator") rather than promotional.

Diff summary

+### Browser Control (Optional) 🌐
+The SO-101 is available as a community-built program on [orobot.io](https://orobot.io/o/program/BROKER-2/so-101-teleop-arm) with a browser-based control sandbox, BOM, and build guide — useful if you want to operate the arm remotely or share access with a collaborator without installing additional software.

Three lines added, nothing removed.

…1 program

The SO-101 is available as a community-built program on orobot.io with
a browser-based control sandbox, BOM, and build guide. This gives
builders a path to remote operation and collaborative access after
completing the standard LeRobot setup, without any additional software
installation on their end.

Switched PR to draft.

I'm interested to get some feedback on if this would be desirable in theory, because I think users would really like it, and it could unlock a fair amount of users for SO-ARM101 with lower coding skills.

But I'm still hardening and testing the functionality on orobot.io, and I would want it to be really bullet proof before actually upstreaming it. Thank you!
