API

const {
    driveBackward,
    driveForward,
    gentleLeft,
    gentleLeftBack,
    gentleRight,
    gentleRightBack,
    moveBackward,
    moveForward,
    spinLeft,
    spinRight,
    stopMotors,
    turnLeft,
    turnRight
} = require("./src/motors")

moveForward()
stopMotors()

If you want to drive forward for a specific amount of time or turn a specific number of degrees

driveForward(500) // ms
turnLeft(90) //degrees
