  - setPower
```
public void setPower(int power)
```
    Description copied from interface: DCMotor
    
    Set the power level 0%-100% to be applied to the motor
    
    Specified by:
    
    setPower in interface DCMotor
    
    Parameters:
    
    power - new motor power 0-100
  - getPower
```
public int getPower()
```
    Description copied from interface: DCMotor
    
    Returns the current motor power setting.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPower in interface DCMotor
    
    Returns:
    
    current power 0-100
  - forward
```
public void forward()
```
    Causes motor to rotate forward.
    
    Specified by:
    
    forward in interface BaseMotor
  - backward
```
public void backward()
```
    Causes motor to rotate backwards.
    
    Specified by:
    
    backward in interface BaseMotor
  - isMoving
```
public boolean isMoving()
```
    Returns true iff the motor is in motion.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isMoving in interface BaseMotor
    
    Returns:
    
    true iff the motor is currently in motion.
  - flt
```
public void flt()
```
    Causes motor to float. The motor will lose all power, but this is not the same as stopping. Use this method if you don't want your robot to trip in abrupt turns.
    
    Specified by:
    
    flt in interface BaseMotor
  - stop
```
public void stop()
```
    Causes motor to stop, pretty much instantaneously. In other words, the motor doesn't just stop; it will resist any further motion. Cancels any rotate() orders in progress
    
    Specified by:
    
    stop in interface BaseMotor
