The Motor blocks in 1.4.

Motor Blocks was a block category in Scratch 1.4. They were used to control the motor in the LEGO WeDo Construction Set. They were replaced by the LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 Extension.

Accessing the Motor Blocks

Show blocks in Scratch 1.4

The motor blocks were not accessible by default in Scratch 1.4. To make the motor blocks visible, the option "Show Motor Blocks" had to be enabled under the Edit tab. The blocks will then appear at the bottom of the Motion palette. The motor blocks could only be used with a LEGO WeDo Construction Set, but the blocks could still be viewed without one.
