Motor blocks

Run Motor for Duration: This block will run one or more
motors clockwise or counterclockwise for a specified
number of rotations, seconds,or degrees.
Start Motor: This block will run one or more motors
clockwise or counterclockwise forever.
Stop Motor: This block will stop one or more motors
from running.
Set Motor Speed: This block sets the speed of one or
more motors.
Light Blocks
Light Blocks enable you to turn on the
lights of different elements(5x5 light
matrix of the Hub and distance
sensor)
on and off.

light Blocks
Movement blocks
Movement Blocks enable you to run two motors in a
synchronized motion.They are primarily used to
move Driving Bases around. Only motors of the same
type can be synchronized.
Movement blocks
Move for Duration:This block moves a Driving Base either forward or backwards
for a specified number of centimeters, inches, seconds, degrees, or rotation.
Start Moving:This block moves a Driving Base either forward
or backwards
Move with Steering for Duration: This block moves a Driving Base forward for a
certain duration with the possibility of steering(Try +99, -99, 100, -100, and 0
“Notice the difference”)
Start Moving with Steering: This block moves a Driving Base forward with the possibility of
steering forever.
Stop Moving: Stops all movement of motors

Students are supposed to:


Use the motor blocks to turn around in place
and the movement blocks for steering and
moving forward
After arriving at the destination they are
supposed to show a message on the hub.
Same challenge can be repeated by using the
color sensor to detect the right place for their
robot to park in.[To be added when the
conditional blocks are explained]
