# Motor Control

To help get you moving, your board comes with a helper library that can be used to drive your robot.

From here you'll be able to combine your sensor readings and build a robot that can respond to other robots and the white line.

```python
import time
import BBRSumoClass

sumo = BBRSumoClass.BBRSumo()

#go forwards
sumo.forward(255)
time.sleep(1)
#stop with brakes
sumo.stop()
time.sleep(1)
#go backwards
sumo.reverse(255)
time.sleep(1)
#coasting is releasing the motors - can be pushed
sumo.coast()

```
