Have you noticed that when we command the robot to stop a motor, the latter not only stops moving but also finds it difficult to rotate. Test that by making a program with which you can stop the motor indefinitely (in a loop). Download your program to your robot, start it and then try to rotate the motor. Stop the program and try to rotate the motor again. It is much easier now, isn’t it?
This is all thanks to the rotation sensor which “feels” when the motor starts rotating and tells the robot to rotate it in the opposite direction.
