robot.elecfreaksCuteBot.start()

robot motor stop

Stops both wheels. End every move and every program that should finish with it.

robot.motorStop()

counter

Set the start value once, in on start. change adds to whatever the variable holds now.

let count = 0
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, function () {
    count += 1
    basic.showNumber(count)
})

robot motor tank for a time

The same, then waits that many milliseconds before the next block. Click + on the block to add the time. It does not stop the motors: follow it with robot motor stop.

robot.motorTank(50, -50, 500)

on button pressed

input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, function () {
    blocks
