NXT motors & ControlBlock
• The NXT servo motors have a built-in rotation
sensor block that continuously measure and
monitors the degrees covered by the motor.
• Motors can be manipulated using the move,
motor, and reset blocks.
• The move block synchronizes motor to enable the
robot to move straight.
• The move block can control all 3 motors
simultaneously. However the power is shared
among the 3 motors.
• The block has a built-in system for error
correction.
