Chapter 4 - "Get Movin"

The chapter talks about the "move" block and its configuration. The move block is somewhat superior (in my opinion) to the motor block - Why? Well first off, the move block has more options than the ordinary motor; programmers are able to operate two motors at a time, also get to configure duration and turn. By having more options in just one block makes programming much more simple; however, making accurate turns is more complex when using move blocks - that's where the motor blocks come in handy. Although the motor block controls only one part and needs the help of other icons to stop or measure duration, its much more simple to calculate an accurate turn.

Both are very useful, but I prefer to use the move block as it has more advantages than the motor block.
