The motors can be programmed to turn on or turn off when you want. This icon turns on the motor in the forward direction that is attached to port A.
And the stop sign icon stops the motor on port A.


  Another way to specify the motor port is with a port modifier. This set of icons turns on the motor that is attached to port A in the forward direction and turns off the motor that is attached to port A.

Motors can be programmed to run at different power levels. This set of icons turns on motor C at power level 5.
Motors can be programmed to run for a certain amount of time. This program turns on motor A at power level 5 in the forward direction for 1 second, then turns on motor C at power level 3 for another second (motor A is still running), then turns both motors off.
Motors can also be controlled based on sensor input. For example, this program turns on motor A and then waits for the touch sensor to be pressed in. When this happens, motor A is turned off.
