Robot

## motorsStop()

#### Description

Stop both motors of the robot.

#### Syntax

Robot.motorsStop()

#### Parameters

none

#### Returns

none

#### Examples

#include <ArduinoRobot.h>
void setup(){
Robot.begin();
}
void loop(){
Robot.motorsWrite(255,255); //Make the robot go forward, full speed
delay(1000);
Robot.motorsStop(); //Fast stop the robot
delay(1000);
Robot.motorsWrite(255,-255);//Make the robot rotate right, full speed
delay(1000);
Robot.motorsWrite(0,0); //Slow stop the robot
delay(1000);
}
[Get Code]

#### Note

You can as well stop the motors by calling Robot.motorsWrite(0,0). Difference is, after the later is called, the motors may still move a little due to momentum(so called slow stop). Robot.motorsStop() will stop the motors and make them stiff, so stop instantly.
