The motor block in AAGRINDER is represented by M and can be crafted from cables.

The motor can be used for moving structures in any direction. When receiving a signal on a wire, the motor will move in a direction depending on the received signal character:

Signal on wire Motor will move
w up
a left
s down
d right
other opposite direction from received signal

The easiest way to generate signals w, a, s and d, is by typing them into a terminal block connected to the motor.

When moving, the motor will also push all block in front of it, up to some limit. By using magnetite, you can also make larger structures stick together, so they can move as one. This was inspired by the functionality in Minecraft, where slime block can be used in the same way.

The motor requires the signal on the wire to turn off before it can be powered again.
