A DC motor rotates when a current is passed through it. When current flows one way the spindle will turn in one direction, when the current is reversed the spindle will also rotate in the reverse direction.
A DC Motor may be controlled to be stationary or rotate in a single direction by simply switching the current off and on using a transistor or FET or may be controlled to rotate in either direction by a H-Bridge motor driver such as the L293D.
The speed and direction of a DC motor may be controlled via the L293D motor driver create module. The BOT120 microbot also has two motors on it's motherboard.
