 |For example, in the sample code below, the <span class="keywordB">nMotorEncoder</span><span class="codePunc">[]</span> command is used to clear the values of the encoders on lines 19 and 20, and then also control the distance the robot moves in the while loop on line 23. This program will cause the robot to move forward for a specified number of encoder counts (1000), while displaying encoder values to the VEX LCD.
